        Could you try a FLACON kernel without ST_POOL_SIZE defined (in
        that case atari/atari_init.c should pick up the default of 40)

        Another thing to test would be a kernel with DIAGNOSTIC and DEBUG
        enabled - it will run more slowly but the extra consistency checks
        can better pick up issues.
