What revision board and chip do you have?

I ask only because chip revisions 'A' and 'B' have some
problems. 'A' is probably better than 'B'. 'B' has data
cache problems. We were using 'C' versions and they worked well.
We did have problems with 'B' that drove us crazy until we
found out that it was flawed.

Board revision 'A' had problems, also. Cannot for the life
of me recall what they were. Something to do with clock
distribution.

If you are running these revisions, that may be the cause
of it being a little fragile.
