I thought I'd do a System Merge when I installed a ci-version of
NetSurf, just in case it had some new stuff. Nosy as I am,
afterwards I took a look in the logfile within !System, and was
somewhat surprised by what I found, after the expected updates of
various modules within !System:

Thu,05 Nov 2015.19:47:07: Removed 500.Modules.Audio.MP3.AMPlayer_.AMPlayerFP
version 1.39; newer version 1.40 in 350
Thu,05 Nov 2015.19:47:07: Removed 500.Modules.Audio.MP3.AMPlayer_.AMPlayer6
version 0.-1; newer version 1.40 in 350
Thu,05 Nov 2015.19:47:07: Removed 500.Modules.Audio.MP3.AMPlayer_.AMPlayer
version 1.39; newer version 1.40 in 350
Thu,05 Nov 2015.19:47:07: Removed 500.Modules.Audio.MP3.AMPlayer version 0.00;
newer version 0.01 in 350

So it appears there was a version of AMPlayer both in the 500 and
the 350 directory. But the one in the 500-directory got deleted
because the one in the 350-dir is newer.

This apparently is some sort of sanitycheck because the !System I
was merging did not contain any AMPlayer-related things.

I checked the copy on the SD-card, and it seems this is how the
!System dir looks by default on the ARMX6, with a AMPlayer both in
the 350 and 500 directories.

It seems to me this behaviour might have deleted a 32-bit
version of some stuff and retains an incompatible 26-bit
version. And this might now actually be the situation with
AMPlayer... But I'm not sure.

Is this behaviour fine, or is something wrong here? I suspect the
latter, but I am not sure... And if it is a problem, is the problem
with the SysMerge routine or with the disc image?

Cheers,
Jan-Jaap
