You may be wrong again.

Are you absolutely sure that it's  a  bug  in  the  firmware?  Please
consider  the possibility that the firware was designed for a version
of the Linux kernel which showed a  different  behaviour.  You  might
want  to  check  when  the PTBASE support first appeared in the Linux
kernel and relate this to BDI2000 firmware releases.

Let's put it straight: either you (or  your  company)  payed  for  an
extension  of  your  software  support,  or  your  copy of the bdiGDB
software version 1.12 is illegal. Period.

A bore is someone who persists in holding his own views after we have
enlightened him with ours.
