Don't put odd values (1,3,5,7...) into $FF9E (65438) when displaying certain
resolution video modes.   On the 1986 GIME, it's liable to corrupt memory
and/or crash.

On a positive note, the problem is entirely avoidable with software -
without losing any addressing precision because the $FF9F register overlaps
$FF9E's addressing.
