Ok, to go back to the programming problem for the flash, I have to admit
that I came across with the same issue here, but I didn't had time to
investigate deeply, my conclusion was that some old P160 modules (like
mine and yours) they have the sram/flash chip slightly different from
the new ones. I assume the it's a timing problem here when the flash
gets programmed. To check my theory I was using a new type of P160 and
it works just fine with the same hw (same hardware implementation) 
maybe I should try to see what's wrong here because this issue will bite
us again. I'll try to figure out this weekend.

Cheers,
Aurash
