Good to know.  I'll skip $D000-$DFFF for now.

So far I haven't seen any crashes but I have seen sporadic response
from the remote monitor when I try to use it via Telnet [with CR/LF or
just CR].  Sometimes I'll start typing a command and it'll cut me off
with a response to whatever I'd been able to type, even if it wasn't
the command I wanted, and if it wasn't a complete command [ie. I
hadn't hit ENTER].  I'm leaving this as a possible Telnet "issue"
beause I don't see the same when I try to issue commands to the remote
monitor from within my program.  I'm having Qt signal/slot issues with
the socket, but that's another matter entirely!

> Indeed. When would you need a dump of the complete addressable memory?

Well I have everything I need in NESICIDE to be able to show the
content of RAM.  If there can be RAM behind the I/O region, I'd like
to dump it too.
