Myles and Knut,
Thanks! I'll probe these ideas and see what happens.
Another data point: It _does_ continue after the hang, but it takes about
an hour. I image each memory write is timing out so a bunch of writes via
memset drags the total timeout to an hour. At that point we try to load
the payload so it seems that I am really really close to the end here....
Regards,
Joe
