Minimally supported data length is 400, there was a bug in older versions which limited overall packet lenghth to 400, but it seems like it is was fixed sometimes ago. If you architecture needs more than 400 bytes to dump registers then length will be bumped up. It seems to me that you have configuration problem. > > Any help is appreciated, > Dave McKenna > -- > http://www.iol.ie > Thanks, Aleksey
