- So enforcer hits in mungwall segments (says SegTracker) indicate that
- there perhaps might be a badly coded routine inside mungwall?

-
- Neither can I rewrite commercial software like the MFC-drivers, nor
- can I pinpoint any fault in the NDK's serial device example code.
- And still, the errors occur while the PC is inside a MungWall segment.
- Perhaps there is a MungWall problem?
