good.

Not sure how/if that sort of fix can be merged.

So you didn't see this kind of problem with older kernels?

Interesting.  I'm going to talk with some people...

Yes, bit 5 is erase error.  You've got to expect data to be bad under
those circumstances.

you have 2 parts in parallel, right?  So the chip on the high order
