No, No, No.
 
The problem I described (and labelled trivial) is an SA1050 if
AUTORESTART tries to perform a dump on uninitialized memory
resulting from a "CM> RS" or a CPU power-on. It causes no
problem other than the inconvenience of having to reset the
system again and interrupt the boot process. A fix is being
considered for this oversight.
