That patch appears to work for me as well. The fact this works indicates a subtle memory management problem elsewhere. I don't know what that is at this point. This hack is in a piece of generic code that works properly on all other PowerPC cores, so it isn't going to ever appear in the public sources. I suggested this change to a few people hoping the information would lead them to finding the real problem, not that it should be perpetuated as a "fix" to make 8xx work. I don't personally have time to work on this right now, so anyone using 8xx should be looking for the real cause and solution, not using this to create products. Thanks. -- Dan
