You may be wrong again.

Are you absolutely sure that it's  a  bug  in  the  firmware?  Please
consider  the possibility that the firware was designed for a version
of the Linux kernel which showed a  different  behaviour.  You  might
want  to  check  when  the PTBASE support first appeared in the Linux
kernel and relate this to BDI2000 firmware releases.

You stated that you received the software "from a  friend".  This  is
not  exactly  the  same  as  receiving  an  official update from your
distributor.

Not it is not the same, however both statements can be true with no
contradiction.

Let's put it straight: either you (or  your  company)  payed  for  an
extension  of  your  software  support,  or  your  copy of the bdiGDB
software version 1.12 is illegal. Period.
