Thank you for the explanation. This will get some ideas of the newest
features.

But would set the default for mintara.prg to "no memory protection" a
better default? I someone who sould like to have memory protection,
should setup something different from the default, he can als enable
memory protection for the MiNT kernel. But this will avoid such
crashes like i had.
