I believe that you need both the new driver installer from P&E and an
updated unit_cfz.dll file.  I'm not sure whether that's downloadable
from the P&E web site or whether you need to contact P&E support for
the latest version; we'll be packaging a newer version with Sourcery
G++ in a future release.
