[stella] sync problems...

Eckhard:
Should this bit of code pretty much be mandatory in
all games we work on?  And could you please explain
a little more about what you mean 'the signal might
get too weak'?  This sounds very strange to me...
how does hitting the register more often 'strengthen'
the signal?
