ok i have some clues from this.  memory LD / STs were at the wrong
addresses.  this led me to investigate the immediate offsets, which turned
out to be unsigned only.

immediates are calculated in power_decoder which was one the first things
written. it is amazing that it has gone unnoticed for so long.

basically we had nowhere near good enough unit test coverage for LD / ST
otherwise this would have been caught far sooner.
