I thought that might be the item you were thinking of. Sometimes, in our effort to be as concise as possible, we went too far in the PA-RISC book. The correct interpretation of that sentence is: The current instruction is a load or store of the destination register of a pending trapping instruction, or the current instruction is a load or store of the destination register of an operation which depends on a pending trapping instruction. In other words, it must be a load or store of a destination register, either of the pending trapping instruction itself, or of any subsequent instruction which depends on that pending trapping instruction. Hope this helps. -- Jim
