You confuse me. I already clarified that under XaAES progdefs are not 
called in supermode (they are called like a signal handler).

We spoke about applications and TOS/MagiC AES:

You: >> Not *rely*, but they need to *support* such behaviour.

And now you started to speak about FreeMiNT and XaAES.
