evnt_multi() working for applications doesn't really mean that
evnt_multi() wouldn't have bugs.

Normal applications typically either don't utilize timer in evnt_multi(),
or have a largish value.   However, games often have timer values and
typically their values are small.

For example there are many (older) GEM games that have problems with
EmuTOS event handling.  See:
http://emutos.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/emutos/emutos/doc/bugs.txt?revision=1.26&view=markup

Has XaAES copied EmuTOS event handling code?

I'll try that.  What is the correct way to determine when one
is running under multitasking AES?

(I don't want draw extra elements on screen on AES versions
that don't need them.)
