Summary 04138: gradius4: "SHARC: PC Stack overflow !" doing MASKROM check
Description When performing the "MASKROM" check, the game will check four of the ROMs as "OK" before crashing with the message "SHARC: PC Stack overflow !"
Steps To Reproduce Start the game. Go into the test mode. Select the "MASKROM CHECK". It will get as far as four of the ROMs then bail out. (Alternately, it will stop working. MAME will continue to run, but nothing will happen in regards to the test.)

I get a crash stating:
SHARC: PC Stack overflow !

This happens all the way back to 0.102 (when first was bootable/playable)

adsp21062_device is being reset periodically, which re-enables interrupts while still inside an interrupt handler. The resulting cascade of interrupts overflows the stack.
However, the proper fix might actually be to reset the stack pointer instead.
Proposed fix for 0.160 seems to work.
