The reason for the 8100000f crash some people experienced is found.
The Blizzard ppc.library frees not existing memory in a failure case...normally
this failure case should never happen but well the devil always likes to send
Murphy when you don´t expect him.
Ok..the failure case can happen when the 68k PPC Start routine doesn´t get
a response from the PPC in time and that seems to happen if the system is
under a lot stress during booting. Actually i don´t really understand why it
happens as the more stress the 68k side has the longer the ppc in time
check would take(used some busy polling system).
This seems to be dependent on the amount of partitions you have.
So a short term solution for people with this problem is to disable some
partitions and mount them later with scsimounter or a simular tool.
But well..beware..SCSIMounter has problems with huge HDs too...
A new FlashUpdate should come in the next time...no reason to
ask when.

P.S.
BIG Thanks to Harry Sintonen for finding the evidence.
