Re: Strange problem with TINI filesystem.

Although the file system is stored in bank 7, there are some root pointers
and other variables stored in bank 0 with the file system.  The safest thing
to do would probably be to call 'fcleaninit' on reboot, then write the file
system by reading the data from bank 47.
