Hi,
since you use mipsel device I think these mips log could be of more help in fixing mips/mipsel bug in 0.3 branches (alpha and experimental).
Hopeing this will be usefull... I know today weekend begins :)
thanks a lot for your thorough description - it did help. :-) Since the weekend is shorter than one might think I already issued a patch. It should work now but due to the lack of Big Endian CPUs I can't test it. I would be happy if you checked on that. After you confirmed the end of this bug I will fix the experimental branch as well.
Regards, Marek
