The claim failed is because when the bootloader exits due to an
exception, the memory area allocated for it by OF is not released.
Trying to run the bootloader again just makes OF try to write into area
already claimed. It can be manually released, but it's easier to reboot.

When you get the default catch next time, can you send me the output
from

%SRR0 10 - dis

Maybe. I'm investigating conditions that may be leading to the secondary
bootloader (ofwboot) getting corrupted.

I think we're seeing a resurgence of interest in the port.
