[partial-reconfig] Re: PAR is crashing for Xilinx' reference design

[Peter Sommerfeld <psommerfeld@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well it looks like I found the problem.

I reinstalled 6.3.03i from the original CDs. The test project works fine here.

When I do the service pack update to the release, par.exe crashes!
Bummer. Looks like the service pack fixes and also breaks a few
things!
