Hi ... (disagree, for flaw in reasoning about bne).

Yes. The branch fails, and falls through to the division, which (fails
and) traps in the break following.

Amen.

OK.

Uh uh.
Why do you think so? The branch IS taken, and jumps forward. OK .. so
that depends on whatever "1f" means in this dialect. I interpreted it
as "jump _forward_ to the label '1' which precedes the following mflo).
I can see no other reasonable interpretation ("1f" as hex would not be
divisible by 4), and the machine code bears me out. I quoted it
earlier, and here it is again (obtained via objdump of the .o code):
(main)
1c: 14600002 bnez v1,28 <main+0x28> (File Offset: 0x68)
20: 0043001a div zero,v0,v1
24: 0007000d break 0x7
28: 00001012 mflo v0
The branch is to the mflo following the break.
So, I cannot agree.

Ufortunately, the conclusion is invalidated by the earlier step.

But unfortunately it does not appear to be correct, so you are NOT
perhaps closing the bug :-).
