ok, thats what i thought, that forbbing the status register causes it
to generate an interrupt. have i done something wrong that an interrupt
handler didnt pick it up and then restore the old psl on the REI? 
did it, and just not restore the right status? 
or should interrupts be blocked when im doing this?
