Hello Dean, thank you very much for your reply!

I made some more tests today and I did indeed notice that it's  
reproducible and quite unexpected. I also tried upgrading the firmware  
of my programmer through AVR Studio 4 on windows (hey, these Intel  
processors must be used somehow ;), which incidentally works like a  
charm with the files that avrdude chokes on, but I suppose that there  
is no updated firmware for the STK500. It reported version 2.10 before  
and it reports 2.10 now.

How do you add a few more bytes? Do you declare a variable you don't  
really need? I'm curious to know what is the most efficient way to do  
so.

Funny enough, it hasn't been happening to me all day. I don't know if  
this is related to setting the clock period to 30 us (it takes several  
*seconds* to write to the chip) or if I'm just not encountering the  
choking situation. On the other hand, my code certainly has bugs -- or  
maybe it's the circuit design that does, but that's another story. :)

As for the Mac-only issue, I'm not sure about it. It seems that the  
mantainer of the avrdude port of macports is avrdude's author himself.
