Package: avrdude
Version: 5.6-1
Severity: important

sometimes "something" causes the parallel port to be left in a state
where the reset pin or data pins are driven high by the
STK200 programmer

In this state there no way to reset the port using avrdude
as the -E parameter is being ignored.

This seems like an oversight, for although the STK200 by design cannot
power the target AVR it can interfere with its operation.

it also denies the use of the STK 200 for togling the RESET line etc...

when I get into this bind I find that writing 0xff to the data pins of
the parallel port gets things working again.
