	I found my old tac cases while searching for something else..

	Case: D931003 BugID: CSCdv73309
	Case: E757917 BugID: CSCea64720

	(I believe one was for a linear-flash filesystem and the 
other was for the ata flash).  Who knows if they were synced to
mainline or some other release that supports your hardware.

	I've had a few meetings with the cisco ARF and other regression
testing teams.  These types of things there's just no coverage for
and are considered cosmetic, even if you have a thousand routers that
will generate huge diffs.  The disconnect between operators in some cases
couldn't be bigger.
