FIXED:  bug in kernel/sys/conf/m40.s dump code
       If ``.dump'' is defined to be 0 (i.e. off) in m40.s and one
tries to take a dump anyway, the code was so arranged that one would
fall through to ``start:'' instead of idling.  To fix this, the ``br
'' instruction at line 101 should be moved one line farther down:

       diff kernel/sys/conf/m40.s.old kernel/sys/conf/m40.s
       101d100
               br      .


This is not a problem in mch.s as its dump code is not conditionally
compiled.  This fix should be applied to all tapes made before 9/29/81.
