*Rubbish*. This has nothing to do with WarpUp itself, it's a *hardware*
fault. The increased likelihood of problems under WarpUp might have
to do with different load of bus, memory and processor due to different
architectures.
You would be quite good off not to start spreading stuff, where you
don't have any clue about, such mails do better fit to csamisc.
If you want the full story about the LR crashes under 233 systems, then ask
Frank Wille about it. He first also assumed that there must be a bug inside
WarpOS but revised that, as he was able to reproduce the problem on PowerUp
too, although with reduced likelihood.
So if you want to blame somebody about the instabilities with 233er boards,
then blame Phase5. And if your only motivation to participate in this ML
is to spread lies about WarpOS then you should think twice before continouing
to do so.

Get? Then you have already bought an ABox and a PreBox, right?

Happy illusion, sweet dreams and have a reality check.
