We think we have found a problem in the CC1000 receive-side code that is
perhaps related to the behavior described here.
The suspected culprit is at line 501 of CC1000SendReceiveP.nc which looks
like this:
((uint8_t *)rxBufPtr)[count++] = nextByte;
We think that count is going out of bounds, leading to RAM corruption.
To test this, introduce some code just before this line that is something
like
if (count>=sizeof(message_t)) { ... blink LEDs in infinite loop ... }
Confirmation that this check fails (or not) would be useful to us.
We'd do this ourselves but we seem to have very few mica2s sitting
around.
The root problem may be a failure to clear count at an appropriate time.
