debugging in hardware

[Brandewie, Dirk J]

Hi Alok,

Others have seen this problem also.  I have asked our support group
to look at the problem and if there are any workarounds.  I will
post to the list any information I can gather on the problem.
Sorry I can't give a more direct answer that would fix your problem.
