Specific commits in question (probably the first commit) On October 18, 2014:
https://github.com/mamedev/mame/commit/0a61c69a7712a1d59000d91b2d6e17e0d338fd65
https://github.com/mamedev/mame/commit/00d0c67a02a0bb416f83fe4111d3064434700dc0

My binaries work AM 10/18 and broken AM 10/19. Only z80 would be at fault and there are no commits on that day for z80.

The 2nd commit simply comments out unused variables, and therefore has no effect on this bug.

The 1st commit has a number of major changes for other calculators (not the ti83 specifically), but I conjecture that it was caught up in the backwash somehow.

The debugger seems to indicate that when Q is pressed, the interrupt fires, but does not clear, so it gets caught up in a loop.

Current behaviour, the first press of Q does nothing, press again, it quickly flashes "mem cleared" then solid cursor and hangs.
