God, I hope so:

    #define CONFIGURE_EXECUTIVE_RAM_SIZE                  (1024*1024)

I don't think so.

The driver is being manually started in my main init function; here is 
the original stack definition

    #define CONFIGURE_INIT_TASK_STACK_SIZE                (10*1024)

Funny, that worked fine on the 4.9.0 pre-release snapshot, with much of 
my app present.  Now, though, with 4.9.0 snapshot, it doesn't - even 
though I've cut away more stuff for clarity!

I doubled it to 20k, and it worked - once.  I was about to send this, 
then I decided I should see if that fixed the second issue, and now it 
(still) doesn't work!  I even  went to 40k, and it still exhibits both 
issue 1 and 2.  But anyway, I don't think it is the stack..

So, I'm still stuck with all three issues...
