I have to assume that the idiosyncrasies of stack overflow checking changed over time, because [Test 14](#test-14),
which predates the 11/45 and 11/70, expects this instruction:
TST -(SP)
to trap when SP is 150. That contradicts this newer test (ie, that TST should not cause an overflow
trap "BECAUSE TST IS A NON MODIFYING INST"). For this and other reasons, PDPjs now installs different
checkStackLimit() handlers based on the CPU model.
