[LinuxCNC/linuxcnc Issue#218] rigit taping will not update spindle mode

Just run the following code:

G90 (set absolute mode)
G0 X1.000 Y1.000 Z0.100 (rapid move to starting position)
S100 M3 (turn on the spindle, 100 RPM)
G33.1 Z-0.750 K0.05 (rigid tap a 20 TPI thread 0.750 deep)
M2 (end program)

and watch the spindle button of axis or gmoccapy, the GUI will not notice the spindle reverse.

I think this is related also to the issue “G-Code not updated correctly”
Solution could be to update the spindle with linuxcnc.stat using the hal pins motion.spindle-reverse and spindle-forward, as these pin do what the should.
