The board that gave me a corruption was using flash for the BIOS itself:
indeed I took the opportunity to re-flash to a later version while I was
changing the battery. But it seemed to keep the user settings in
volatile memory: maybe they thought it better than re-flashing a whole
block for a few bits? The board was only around 3 years old.
