Well .. this and many other corruptions were apparently
caused by HAL_FLASH_CACHES_OFF / HAL_FLASH_CACHES_ON
calls in the flash memory subsystem - I was able to
reproduce it without accessing the flash region at all.

I am not (yet ;)) an expert for ARM920T cache handling
(I'll try to study the documents later - I actually do
not need this as the region is set to uncached/unbuffered
at the MMU level so I can just #ifdef it out), but something
is clearly wrong here.

Anyone has experience with an ARM920T with MMU enabled
and cache sync/clean and can review the code in
hal_cache.h macros for CYGPKG_HAL_ARM_ARM9_ARM920T?

Thanks
