....when the TAS (test and set) instruction occurs with certain addressing modes, the processor does not execute the instruction stream properly. The desirability of a more reliable means to check microprocessor designs before fabrication is quite evident from bug reports in industry newsletters [97, 98]. Though the 486 microprocessor s bugs have gained notoriety recently, this problem is long standing. The 6502 microprocessor used in early personal computers suffered an instruction fetch bug. It was never corrected; programmers had to take care to avoid it. National Semiconductor s PACE design, ....
