Try commenting out the #defines for SEA_BLINDTRANSFER and SEA_ASSEMBLER. That
worked for me on a Future Domain TMC-885, which experienced the exact symptoms
you've described. I'm trying to put these options in the current version of
the driver, so that I can submit the changes back and use it. I'm still trying
to figure out (in between all the other stuff I have to do) where it would all
go.
