That could be the reason why I sometimes (ok, nearly every time)
see the turnkey action (output of VER to the serial line)
whilest flashing a new image. Not that it ever did any harm
to my code/hardware, but it is funny to see it at all....

But: you should get rid of your problems by re-flashing the hexfiles
a second time. The content of the EEPROM is than correct and the default
turnkey action does not change EEPROM content.  Another solution would
be to flash the eeprom content ahead of the flash content (simply
change the order for the avrdude call in the Makefile). Please let me
know, if this works.

There are a few more possible work-arounds e.g. changing the addresses
in  the .eseg area, but it is rather difficult since the addresses are
hard coded in the coresponding words/*.asm files.
