The main thing is wrap it with the setjump magic that xmon uses for
other things that allows it to recover if you hit a bad pointer
along the way:

	if (setjmp(bus_error_jmp) == 0) {
		catch_memory_errors = 1;
		sync();
		... do your stuff...
		sync();
	}
	catch_memory_errors = 0;

We could make some kind of helper or macro to factor that out
while it it ;-) (For bonus points !)

Cheers,
Ben.
