RE: [ECOS] NASTY bug in eCos ConfigTool 1.3.1.2 Win32

Define the difference between "unexpected behaviour" and a "bug"?  In my
opinion, they are the same.

The crash factor I discussed however is definitely a BUG! :)  It may not
have been sent to anyone yet though because of the list lag.

I think I know what this is, and although it isn't a bug as such (more
unexpected behaviour), it should be fixed.... The problem is that if you
change the startup type from RAM to ROM, the config (as indicated by the
'*') doesn't notice. If you click anywhere else in the configuration
pane, _then_ it will notice and the '*' will appear.

It's caught me out before too, but I never requested it be fixed I don't
think :-|.
