Rob meant to put the v2-developer build on your player, then 'Q' or Ctrl-C your serial port after it finishes booting, and then run the player with its "Ignore all our existing saved data" flag. I don't think that it will help you, unless it also resets the flash save-area to the default too.

Is There Love In Space? Who knows? Anyway, your player is certainly not saving its state correctly:

The "save to" address should change at each boot. The fact that is the same each time indicates that the flash is not being written correctly at shut down, for whatever reason.

There is a debug flag in the kernel that could be compiled in that prints "The Quick Brown Fox..." at shutdown. The empeg guys put it in so that they could measure how long the power stays up (to ensure that the flash did indeed get written, no less). I'm not really sure what is considered normal though.
