Oh!  OK, that makes more sense.

However, according to one of our hardware hackers, Andrew Greenberg
(CCed), the STK5200 development breakout board for the TQM5200 *does*
have the DMA pins wired up correctly, at least according to its
schematic.  That doesn't guarantee that the board matches the schematic,
of course.

Any other ideas for things we could check to try to track down this
problem?
