Default Spirit Fixed!

Great news! The problem was in the flash memory and they have already
worked around it. So far things are working ok. But the do need to do
a complete system check. It will take "a couple of weeks" before they
return to normal operations.

Clear skies,
Greg

More great news... they now predict the rover will last "several
months" beyond the three month mission estimate. Power and Thermal
parameters are better then predicted.
