I forgot to sent this to the list for everyone, not just the spooks who tapped the line ;-)

Hi Guido,
thanks for the report and the log. I have a faint suspicion.
could you please give the following image a try?
Hi Norman,
Your hunch was correct, this image runs the expand process correctly on my 'bad' stick. I ran it three times just to make sure, both in usb2 and usb3 sockets. All good.
Other news: 1. I noticed that the debian iso-download on this 06-21 image was jittery, stopping the now-counter for a second every few MBs. Is that an effect of these patches?
2. With the old (sculpt-tc) image, the debian download sometimes hang with what looked like a filesystem lockup. I could not save the config/deploy, nor exit vim. Other processes seemed unaffected. Is that lockup to be expected from the old code?
It could also have been a memory error I encountered with memtest. But that was transient. I could not pinpoint it to a single DIMM, nor did it occur any time after that. Perhaps this iron is getting old and flaky.
Anyway, thanks for the patch.
I've attached the log.
Cheers, Guido.
