oh, I missed that.  Flash programming is not supported in the 4.1-32 release. 
However, the sprite error is not that.  Looking carefully, I see GDB is trying 
to write to address 04000500, but that's not contained in the memory map -- so 
there is no memory there.

I think it is the P&E bug we encountered with the 5485 board and writing to 
non-existant memory.  We got a bus error, it appears that Kevin gets a more 
fatal error.
