Thanks for the summary Brian, it's incredibly helpful. It sounds like 
the memory verification for the stk500v2 is probably the biggest bug. 
Because it may affect the jtag mkII, then I would think it also affects 
a new avarice release.

I'm certainly fine with performance issues on new features, as long as 
they are correct first. Better to be slow and correct, than fast and 
buggy, no? :-)

I'll see what I can do to help roll in outstanding patches starting on 
Monday or Tuesday.

Thanks
Eric
