 Yes! Thank you very much for the rapid fix!

 This needs further works (probably worth for another PR?). So, please
 feel free to close this PR.

 With code inspection, atari does not have this problem. However, yes,
 m68k ports especially old ones have many similar-but-slightly-different
 codes that should be unified in the future (Your work for 68040 was
 really nice!).

 Hmm, I do not observe such a case for GDB. This should also be worth
 for another PR...
 
 Thanks,
