[avrdude-dev] [bug #30061] stk500 skips writing blocks of 0xff, even if the part/page wasn't erased

[Bill Westfield]

I'm still seeing this problem with the Arduino bootloaders (stk500v1), even in 
the avrdude 5.11 distributed with Arduino.  That's supposed to have the memory 
tagging changes, isn't it?

Anyone else?  Any thoughts?  Suspicious code that used to be in stk500.c isn't 
in the source any more; and apparently didn't fix the behavior when undone 
previously, anyway.  Where else would look for "blank" pages?
