Still running at 648 Mhz and haven't seen the BUG again, but am only
moderately loading the board with building and running self-tests for the
project I'm working on [1] out of tmpfs.

A friend here mentioned that just from eyeballing the board the DRAM lines
seemed "too simple" to him compared to other ARM boards he's used.

Thanks!
