I'm afraid two bytes of config area were zeroed.
Fixed in 0.33a.

Version 0.32a is released.
Both problem is fixed.
'make uninstall' also works from now. (It just leaves some empty dirs
under /usr/local/lib/pista. They will be removed in the next release.)

Here's what I found with 0.32a

Pista> programmer picstart /dev/ttyS0
120 Resetting programmer
220 PICSTART Plus detected, firmware version 3.11.0

Good.

Pista> help device
550 Cannot open dir /usr/local/bin/../lib/grupid No such file or directory

Uh oh. 

So I changed line 50 to read:

my $GRUPID="$FindBin::/usr/local/lib/pista/grupid";		# BUG

(The BUG comment was there already :).

Pista> device 18f452
242 Device 18f452 selected

Good.

Pista> erase
551 Cannot open file <: No such file or directory

Uh oh. Ooops, that should've been

Pista> erase pic:
132 Device erased
232 Object has been modified


Okay.

Well, now to program

Hmm. I tried fixing the directory on line 31, but that didn't help. 
Although, it seems the device programmed fine. At least there's nothing 
obviously wrong.

You can see I don't lie. :-)
(Actually the last few week I tried to rememeber why this comment
was put here but I could not.)

This is a syntax error.
Valid commands are
erase pic:
erase file:foo (same as erase foo)
erase buf:bar
Well. More strict check required.

Grrrrr.

Thanks for the feedback.
