Okay so this bit of assembly adequately demonstrates the problem.  There is
a bit of an issue here though that perhaps some sh4 expert can clear up for
me.  If I run this and go "until sub2", it stops on sub2 and works fine.
If, however, I go "until sub1", followed by "until sub2", it stops a couple
instructions before sub2 and I have to 'si' into it.  I can modify the test
case to not bother checking sub1 (since we know it's okay anyway) but I'm
still puzzled as to why this is having the problem.

cheers,
