<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The EXIT bit in the status register
is not sticky. It is only set while</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">the SPU is going through the EXIT steps
(i.e. the hardware erases</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">all of LS and the register file, and
then "unlocks" the LS).</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">An alternative is the IS bit (the isolated
bit) which tells you </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">whether the SPU is isolated or not.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">It is still not clear to me how your
change bubbles up to the user.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">It seems you're making assumption on
the state of the SPU </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">based on whether the application has
completed or asked for a </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">second app to be brought in....?</font>
