Description 
The DIF 'ret' instruction doesn't actually cause the DIFO being emulated to return as one would expect. This isn't an issue at present as we don't generate any code sequences where a 'ret' is in the middle of the instruction stream. However, this needs fixing in case we do at a future date.
