I too have noticed that zeroing out the last 3 byte jump instruction of
the gr.0 display list seems to have no effect. The only thing that I can
figure is that ANTIC must be sometimes smart enough to know when it has
reached the bottom of the screen and simply goes back to the beginning
of the list. This is not always the case however because you can make the
screen roll if you put too many instructions in the list.
