[hatari-devel] Two Hatari bugs

Hi,

I've found two bugs in Hatari that seems to be across both Mac OS X and 
Linux platforms.

Bug #1
If you leave Hatari with the F12 menu open for many hours (say over a 
night) Hatari becomes unresponsive and needs a kill -9 to terminate. I've 
confirmed this with the Hatari in the repositry from both Mac OS X 
10.6 and Ubuntu Linux 11.04.


Bug #2
Hatari YM-file writing needs some improvements. The YM specification says 
that for buzzer sounds, register 13 should have value $ff, this means that 
the YM player should not update register 13 in that case.

I've only tried the YM files in my own player, but as far as I can tell, 
it doesn't do the buzzer correct (silent channel) - I'm unaware of any YM 
player on OS X that I could use and compare.

Here are two YM snippets recorded with Hatari 1.5 repo:

http://ae.dhs.nu/tmp/frazer.ym.gz

And here are the original files:
