Not getting an underrun is good.  There may very well be an issue with 
the FPGA.  Could you do me a favor and see if you get these timestamp 
jumps using the single RX chain application?  I'd be interested to know 
if it is something due to the complication of using two RX chains, or if 
there is something inherently wrong with the timestamp.  I know what 
you're interested in is the timestamp gap between the two channels, and 
it being consistent, but I want to know if you get these timestamp jumps 
using the single chain.

It just helps me narrow down the issue.  There was a point in time where 
I wasn't even going to release a 2TX/RX RBF because it had some fitting 
issues in the FPGA with all of the new inband stuff.  I had to clean up 
some unused code to get it to fit.  The only reason I actually made an 
effort to build the 2TX/RX RBF was because of your research group ;)

I spend all of my time working with the single chain, and if I find bugs 
I can fix them.  But I think you're the only ones using the dual 
chain... so your feedback is useful and I'd appreciate any help solving 
the problems.  I don't really know Verilog, and our Verilog coder is at 
an internship right now ;)
