We've noticed that the LSC version of ChanInTimeFail does not work correctly on the ST20450. Using it would occassionally - about 1% of the calls to it - result in corrupted data. ChanInChanFail works correctly and we compared the assembly code between ChanInTimeFail and ChanInChanFail and made hybrids of them to try to narrow down the bad opcode. It looks like either enbt or dist is the culprit. We gave up at that point and re-thought what we were trying to do. I don't know if ChanOutTimeFail is affected or not, but I thought I'd give you a warning.
