Works fine for me ; and in fact, not having bExceptionDebugging enabled in 
that case can be useful, because in debug mode hatari often enters the 
debuggers when a program tries to access illegal memory region on purpose 
(to detect STE hardware, protection, ...) and in that case having to press 
'c' can be annyoing..  (try running 'dope' in debug mode, one part is 
using exceptions many time per vbl, which is a real nightmare in debug 
mode)

Yes, could be nice to give it a funny name to emphasize the falcon/dsp 
improvment, but I'm out of idea :)
