Can anyone out there explain the "comet sucks" at line 123 of doprnt.s?
This is for 4.1BSD.  I already know that "comet" refers to the 11/750, and
I already know about many alleged and actual microcode bugs on that
machine; what bug are they talking about right here??

loop:
	movzwl $65535,r0		# pseudo length
	movl r11,r1				# fmt addr
		# comet sucks.
	movq *fdesc,r4
	subl3 r1,r5,r2

drc
