GB Emulator crashes when changing settings for canvas scaling about octane

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello, could you give us more background on why you'd like to try this change? 
Gameboy, as many other tests in Octane, needed to be modified to avoid any 
canvas interaction, which is not the goal of the benchmark. So many functions 
have been replaced with dummy ones and probably this change accesses either 
something that is not covered or something that doesn't exist.

Thanks for the quick reply. We found this problem while working on a novel 
program analysis that detects bugs. The code is clearly wrong, as it tries to 
call a function that doesn't exist.
If Octane benchmarks are supposed to run correctly only for the benchmark 
input, you probably don't have to fix it. If, instead, you care about having a 
consistent program, you may want to either remove/reduce the settings array (to 
prevent canvas interaction), or fix the bug itself.

I see, now it makes sense. Yes, generally the code is supposed to work in one 
way and with the minimal amount of modifications from the original. That is why 
the settings weren't even touched. I think we will leave things like this for 
this specific issue. Cheers
