Probably not the latest -- I don't think I ever posted that here. Not
too much difference between the two though. I wonder if this problem
is reproducible on my device.

You are almost definitely correct on all counts, this was probably one
of the first times I wrote any C, so there's probably quite a bit of
crap in there.

I was not aware that it had been imported into the trunk. Last time I
looked noone seemed to have done anything with the driver or have any
interest, so I figured there was no point. If there's any real
interest in keeping it in the trunk, I can have a look with my device
to see if I have the same problem mentioned above. If so, it should
probably be fixable pretty easily.
