Thats the problem from all the "work-horses" here, first we should work
on a day expander not on simulators and so on :-)

When you speek from gdb. There are two open bugs as discussed in
avr-gcc-list
a few week s ago.
One is the buffer overflow problem which could be fixed in a few minutes
the other is the frame-pointer? / register usage which makes it unable
to change 
one of the registers from gdb, because wrong register size is
calculated/returned
I have removed the FP in my private version and have not seen any
problem,
but I have not watched out for any sideeffects until now :-(


Will these fixes come with next release?
(I put that mail also on avr-gcc-list for that point)

I´m a bit wondering now. In the "news" you wrote that parallel h-v
programming
is one of the new features in the mainline, right?

OK, that means that I can use the branch and will be able to use
new devices and my fuse settings in high voltage parallel programming
with stk 500.

that looks very very good.
