	My first message seems to have died.  My question is, essentially,
	If you are in the middle of software interrupt A, and a real interrupt
	comes along and Cause()'s another software interrupt (the SAME
	software interrupt A), when the interrupt ends, returning to the
	original software interrupt, and then the original software
	interrupt ends, will it be immediately re-invoked or will the Cause()
	call from the hard interrupt be ignored because that particular
	software interrupt was already in progress?
