Continuing my fight with seldom debug crashes..
This time i've got something replicable.
When Amiga system got trashed i've a situation like this:
Code:

No other breakpoints or watchs active that the bold one.
Code I'm debugging is perfectly working without the added watch.
Logically if I continue this code system crash or halt (i've some very rare case where even WinUAE crash).
So last debug i've done I have been very attentive to the use of watchpoints.
And got this replicable crash:
- WinUAE 4.1.0 beta 8 from sticky thread or final 4.0.1 from WinUAE site (
64bit version) used;
- Quickstart A500 KS 1.3 512+513 (most common)
started with inserted floppy (I was debugging
DanDareIII-TheEscape.ipf) [but both selections are not so significative];
- start emulation and
wait CLI window appear and game begin the load;
- during the very first load time start debug and:

A beautiful and inspiegabile full system crash, the same case as the former in this message.
Surely the previous one occurred during a long debugging session and I do not remember which memory cells I modified, but the casuistry is identical.
Fortunately this last combination is very simple and always repeatable so it can help Toni to understand where the problem is.
Cheers.
PS: if anyone is wondering why I used
W 0 80 is to catch a stupid bug in game module replayer that give some 'strange' volume effect at start in some configuration
