What should be fixed ?

What template and code examples ?
Did I miss something earlier in the thread ?

Well, it is as it is, I suppose.

Examples ?

I have checked bot the non-A and the A version of the
data sheet and can't find any seriouse error regarding
the saving of registers for interrupts, if that's what we
still are talking about. Both data sheets gives a clear
solution to this even on the 873/874 devices.

I probably must have missed something earlier in the thread...
