i *just* *now* talked to the author.  it's board-specific, has to do
with a register in the CPLD on our board, that's the reader's digest
condensed version.  this is a custom board, so i definitely don't
expect it to behave like a regular rpxlite.  so ignore all this,
unless this explanation makes no sense at all. :-)
