And even one of those length mismatches is apparently non-fatal (PDR
0x0001).. I just don't understand why Intersil decided to change its
length.

Well, maybe.. I just like to see those and I am too lazy to using '-v'
unless something goes wrong in the first try.. If someone reports a
problem, I would also like to get those, but even this should be doable
by asking re-testing with '-v' (well, at least if it was RAM download
;-). I assumed that "Using default data" would be enough to make it
clear that it was not an error, but maybe the wording could be improved.
