I should mention that the fix for the logs won't kick in until a log record is written to a new sector on the flash. The bug was related to the log flash erase-before-write routine.

In other words, it make take up to 45 minutes of diving before a start-dive record will actually work.

This bug happened after we were forced to change from an EEPROM to a Flash due to a part going end-of-life. They were supposed to be driver compatible, but actually weren't.
