Great! I applied the whole series, thanks. The Uni-n patch left an
unused variable, I deleted that. Patch 10 had a line with only white

Nops are also somewhat common because of the delay slots and mandatory
delays between some instructions. Usually the compiler will put
something useful to the delay slot, but not always.
