    BB$X fails to be delayed properly if it is done at a time when
    the interrupts are shut off.  apparently, it totally forgets about
    the request (by doing a POPJ P,  near FCN.B)  if the INHIBIT switch
    is on.  I surely need a thing to do that forces a ^B break loop
    the next time possible (e.g., when UNLOCKI is done)
A long time ago, in a hackery far, far away... this was deemed a feature
so that the BB interrupts wouldn't stack up uselessly.  Maybe we should
have a BBBX that allows it to stack up.
