I think that you're confusing two separate problems WRT the 68LC040. If you
have "occasional" seg faults, then yours is *NOT* a broken one. The broken
ones would be pretty much completely unusable. All others, though, will
have seg faults because we have broken code for running on the "good"
68LC040's.

I don't think it would really be worth it....but it's always worth a try
;-). Your fault tolerance may be higher than mine.

Hope this helps,
