I think I remember this one.

I think it's a memory corruption (bad pointer) problem (as Mike said). Take
a close look at your .s2i file - if memory serves, you'll find out that the
model name you called out in the [Pin] section doesn't exactly match the
model name you have in the [Model] section. That drives s2ibis2 nuts.

Another thing that has perplexed me in the past has been when I used pin
names longer than 5 characters. S2ibis2 wants to be able to append 3
characters to the pin name, add a ".spi" extension, and still end up with a
legal 8.3 character file name. Use a 6 or more character pin name, and you
get another set of weird problems that are hard to diagnose.

Hope that helps,

Todd.
