That would certainly be useful.  My real suspicion is that this code hasn't
been utilized all that much, and we are entering it's first real
stabalization phase.  Since all I did was comment out what looked like
redundant code, I actually think you are the second person to notice
this.   Personally I have deal with boot block type flash memory,
which may have different characteristics than other intel product lines.

Having a couple of people get a firm grasp on what things cause
problems, is probably needed right now.  So if you come up with
anything interesting I'd be glad to hear it.
