Yes...

I confirm that this change has no impact on the current issue.


Note however that your modification was probably not the (only)
culprit. With current mainline version I get this:

TRAB # run load

with the timeouts being *way* too fast.

It seems that 1.2.0 was the last version that has been actually
tested on trab / SMDK2400.

I'll try to run a git bisect tomorrow; need to get some sleep now.

Best regards,
