/*
Bug is caused by very subtle timing interactions in the Cache

It does not detect a hit, which it should, on the read phase of the swap
operation. It doesnt detect the hit because it is still completing
a fill started by the memory request to load an instructuion
at swap instruction + 8.
This only occurs when the swap target address is in the cache
but the cache instruction address is not, and the instruction
address the third of a group of 4 instruction words.

Test copies sequence to another bit of memory and runs it.
Repeats this a few times moving the sequence to slightly
different memory locations each time
