[FLASH-BUGS] Running flash on a SUNblade.

[Andrew Siegel]

regarding the second point, we have compilers that flag variables which
are read before being written. I've never seen any warning for these
variables, and the few I tracked down just now by hand didn't have this
problem. I'll do a more thorough search in a few minutes.

Does Sun have a compiler flag that initializes all local variables to zero
(most compilers do)? Did you compile with it and verify this was the
problem? If not we can do it -- just wanted to
avoid duplicating work.

thanks for the feedback. -andrew siegel
