Well, not obviously. To be clearer: I only ever saw the needing-replug sitution 
happen ONCE, on virtualbox linux, but I was banging pretty hard on it for a 
couple of days. I have however seen these random errors consistently on both 
platforms.

Since then I have also tested the latest GIT version under (virtual) linux, and 
also the latest git version build with FTDI's drivers instead of libftdi. All 
combinations show the same random errors. Also tried at a range of different 
JTAG clock speeds, makes no difference.

I am looking through documentation for other tuneables I can try fiddling with, 
and I have a logic analyer/scope arriving next week which might be of use. 
Should also get the DM355EVM before too long for comparison.

I am wondering things like:

- might it be some kind of earth problem? I am in Japan, the computer and DUT 
are all running off 2-pin power, no earths.

- some noise / inadequate power limitation of the JTAGKey-Tiny? Maybe I need a 
more manly JTAG adapter? That one's a bit of a stretch.. Just a shame I don't 
have an alternative here for comparison.

Pressin' and guessin',
