Initialising with RAMFS... and triggering the Low Vectors watch points

This recording shows a run of Pyromaniac with FileSwitch, FileCore and RAMFS intalled (and a number of other modules too), which boots up and then changes the RAMFS dynamic area to 256k.

Somewhere within that resize, the trace watchpoints that check accesses of zero page fire and report to the user. Then I can catalogue the newly created RAM Disc and see that all is well - except that also triggers the zero page watch points.

So I’ve got some debugging to do, but it successfully initialised a RAM disc and shows that the zero page tracing is working too.
