While this could be done I believe that it might be possible / desirable to exit out of the main loop, rather than longjmp or re-exec. I have not implemented it because I have not got to that bit yet and don't want to put time into a solution I will throw away. I'm happy to just put: while (1) ; in the reset code if you like?
