Yeah, so in my attempt to simplify the code, I forgot the two extra
parameters on the function call.  Thats just my error.  In case you're
wondering, the two other flags are for register and chip select type
operations.

Thanks for noticing though. ;)

Also, thanks to Bill for this one:

I suspected as much.  I couldn't find anything on the list because I
get
the "black skulls of smoke" on the archive search. ;)

I'll avoid string packing for now.  The really odd thing is that it is
inconsistently bad.  If I comment out my first debug statement, things
work fine, but if I leave it in, string packing goes all wobbly.
Shrug,
-NO_STRING_PACK for me.  I won't have any debug messages in my final
code anyway. ;)

At least I know I'm not crazy. ;)

Thanks all,
Jake
