Hi Peter,

Your problem is interesting.

I lived through a few halfword bugs similar to yours and the source in all 
of these cases turned out to be either software or hardware (interconnect) 
but, not on-chip as you suspect.

I am assuming you have checked out that binary coding is okay and so 
on.  It does not look like this is your problem from the symptoms you 
describe -- one in ten characters being trashed.

My bet is that your problem going away when you replace the instructions is 
a side effect of your change rather than the cause.  I do not know enough 
about your project and thus have no idea what is involved in tracking this 
down to its source, but I think it is doable.

I would be interested in tracking it down if you are.  If not now, at least 
save the "problem" snapshot so that you can revisit it later.
