You may be wrong again. Are you absolutely sure that it's a bug in the firmware? Please consider the possibility that the firware was designed for a version of the Linux kernel which showed a different behaviour. You might want to check when the PTBASE support first appeared in the Linux kernel and relate this to BDI2000 firmware releases. > > You stated that you received the software "from a friend".

Let's put it straight: either you (or your company) payed for an extension of your software support, or your copy of the bdiGDB software version 1.12 is illegal. Period.
