Summary	00117: Address entry in cheat system
Description	Attempting to enter an address into the cheat system (either when editing a cheat or when editing a watchpoint) doesn't work, and on my system it actually locks MAME up completely the moment I press the Enter key (the lockup is probably either SDLMAME-specific or 64-bit-specific--I checked on IRC with someone running mainline on Windows and for him it doesn't lock up, it merely doesn't work). Follow-up by telomerex: The following code on line 966 in cheat.c goes into an infinite loop: while(input_code_poll_switches(TRUE) != INPUT_CODE_INVALID) ; I can't figure out why this even needs to be in a while loop. Changing that line to the following stops the lockups and now everything seems to work fine: input_code_poll_switches(TRUE);
