Beware of stack overflows, they can produce very strange bugs.

Now, XaAES calls appl_init() to determine if the physical VDI 
workstation must be opened on startup. In EmuTOS, internally that calls 
scrp_write() then Fsfirst(). When FreeMiNT is installed, Fsfirst() uses 
about 1.5 kB on the supervisor stack, that's quite much.

In EmuTOS, I had to increase the internal AES stack to allow running 
xaloader.prg from the desktop with GEM=ROM. Otherwise FreeMiNT's 
Fsfirst() caused a stack overflow on the small internal AES stack.

I wonder what happens with the Atari AES (also used in FireTOS).
