GLK-12232 freezing up

I'm having a periodic problem with the GLK-12232. We're talking to it through a serial interface using Perl under Linux, and most of the time this all works happily. However, very occasionally - usually when developing additions to our display software, or when attempting to debug it - we see a ...

Thus something like:

printf LCD "%c",$low_byte;

Bitmap uploading to a GLK-12232-SM

I'm having serious trouble uploading bitmaps to a GLK-12232-SM. It's hooked up to a Linux system, so I've not been able to test it with mogd.exe, and the Linux system being a headless server doesn't have the stuff required to run the Java software available from the site, so I can't test it with ...
