does GEM not like it if you screw around with the 200Hz system timer??
what i mean is, if you turn off the timer for a period of time, then
re-enable the timer, GEM doesn't seem to be able to respond to mouse button
events, etc. generally resembles a machine lockup. GEM seems to be able
to handle vertical blank interrupts being turn off, but not timer C interrupts.

any reasons behind this weird and wonderful behaviour??
