OK, I have read all the background info now.  Congratulations, and
welcome to the club - a few years ago, I discovered the "Incorrect

This seems to be the only option, at least until fixed parts are
available.  Good to know at least ATmega128 is not affected (as you
used it with stack in XRAM on the same board, and it worked fine).
