This is what I started to to do a few hours ago. Step by step. Now I'm
not at the machine which has the card in.
I hope this way I'll find out which part is kicking me.

This made me stuck, since I don't get a crash dump or something else.
Only the last messages and then a freeze. The cursor is flashing and
sometimes I managed to enter a return with success. But this only worked
one or two times. Then no more activity.
Only a shift + prtscr gave me a screen output. everthing else blocked.

I routed the messages to the dbg file and to the console too.
As I remember I got the same messages on console as on the dbg file.

As said above I go now step by step implementing the patch to the
original code.
This will take some time, I'll let you know about my progress.

Thanks,

Andreas
