It does seem to have the correct behavior for both setting and starting a
program. My earlier description of the d2 opcode was a bit brief.
Reviewing my notes, the "stop all tasks, set current program, run program"
pseudocode is really:
stop all tasks in current program
stop all motors (cc50[] = 4f, cc4d[] = 4f)
set current program number (ccc4)
initialize task starting addresses (cdde[] = cd72[prog][])
get task 0 status to running (ce56[prog][0] = running)
copy task 0 starting address to task 0 pc (cdde[0] = cd72[prog][0])
So variables stay intact. However, the code in d2 does not appear to reset
the loop counter stack of task zero, which may or may not be of concern.
There are certainly workarounds for this.
