Yeah.. Sigh..  The reverse order of the LRC check was somewhat embarrasing.
Fixing any of those little things would have fixed the problem, but I
thought it was interesting just how tall a stack of dependencies there
were before we hit a problem.

In the end, just a small firmware change on our end, and a small fix
on visa's end.

People DO get all bent out of shape when their money goes "poof" though.. :)
