Re: TRAP #1 from TRAP #2?
It's perfectly all right to call Gemdos (trap #1) from the AES or
VDI (trap #2). Traps don't count as interrupts for the purposes
of the Compendium warning. The reason for the dire warnings in
the Compendium is that Gemdos is not re-entrant, so if it is called
from itself the system will crash. This can't happen in the sequence
user -> AES -> Gemdos
but could in the sequence
user -> Gemdos -> interrupt (e.g. vertical blank) -> Gemdos
