Update KA10 emulator, fixing SALV halts. #2146

Closed larsbrinkhoff closed 1 year ago

larsbrinkhoff commented 1 year ago

A problem in the KA10 emulator made DUMP write bad tapes. In particular, sometimes a tape mark would be missing. DUMP ignores this when reading tapes, as does itstar. However, SALV would take notice and halt when TRAN'ing a bad DUMP tape.

This fixes the last remaining build instability we have had for months. (As far as I know.)
