I think I've seen hacks from you that temporarily set up BATs for 
serial console
access until the BAT is forcefully re-used later :-)  I just wanted to 
document the
issue for everyone, that breaking this is more than just a five minute 
fix and
test exercise (which may only further obfuscate a hack than actually 
change
anything) :-)

Thanks.
