Odd, I didn't see your reply, saying "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" must trigger our mail 
filter, it's built on Microsoft technology. ;-)  I can read your reply 
in gmane.org, now that I know to look.  :-/

The crash is undoubtedly due to a buffer overflow on the format string 
(16MB => .  Adopting Clemen's proposal for a fixed length bar (see 
previous email for a 50 dot bar example) is trivial.

The saveenv also looks funky.  I only mucked with the cmd_mem.c command 
to make it display better with the progress dots, obviously the saveenv 
command needs to have the same changes
   s/"Writing to Flash... "/"Writing to Flash\n"/
Apparently saveenv does four very short program operations.

If you want to extend my patch, here's your chance to grab all the 
glory.  ;-)
