Yes, I was referring to this code too.

GPT == General Purpose Timer. For example the GPT0_COMP6 register. But this is 
of course application/OS dependant. Could be that your application (Linux 
etc) is using this GPT register. But I doubt it.

BTW: We have an ACK from AMCC that the content of these registers is retained 
even during reset.
