Not at all - I haven't even checked MiNT source code.

Major apologies to Vincent then! He has reported the same issue in
EmuTOS where I managed to identify it as an ARAnyM bug so when he
reported it again here in FreeMiNT I tried to quickly turn the blame to
ARAnyM without even checking MiNT.

Anyway, thanks to this I've found and fixed a long standing
right-shift-upon-startup issue in ARAnyM (I'd say it's been there for
like 8 years and nobody but Vincent noticed :-)
