[arm-allstar] Strange issues with ASL

[Fred Hillhouse]

With all the battery backup options that people have done, I am sure it would be easy to protect against the abby-normal power event.

Rachid,

I'm curious of your results.

While I have no doubts of the hamvoip software reliability, I do have my 
doubts of *any* software/firmware survive-ability on an SD card during 
abnormal power events. All it takes is one non expected power 
interruption.  Some folks have a little better luck than that, but 
sometimes we are not that fortunate.
