Has there been any more progress with the ailing TestCard() function?

It would seem that if you use the TestCard function with anything that
has the MetroWerks name on it, it will crash the PSX. For example, if
you make a program in codewarrior that uses TestCard and run it with
PSCommUtil, it crashes. If you run that same executable with Siocons, it
crashes as well. If you run a program that uses testcard() that was
compiled with GCC and upload it with siocons, it works fine. If you take
that same executable and run it with PsCommUtil, it crashes.

I've confirmed this. I've wasted hours of my life trying to debug it. I
ended up giving up and switching to GCC.

Has MetroWerks found an answer to this problem yet?
