Ive had no problems flashing my ESP8266s with the binaries at the same time. In these early days, we are still assuming that the folks who are playing with this code have some knowledge of ESP8266s and may want to use the flash tools of their own choices. Personally, I use "esptool_ck" for flashing ... however, the other week I tried to use "nodemcu_flasher" and found that there was a bug in it. If I asked it to load two flash binaries, it only did one and ignored the other. I raised this as an issue with the "nodemcu_flasher" team and they agreed, made a fix and published a new version ... which meant that I could now flash in one go with that tool. It might be that is what you heard about?

You're right, I just tried to flash the binaries at the same time, no problems.
I don't remember where I read about it, it might be the Nodemcu flasher.
Sorry for the confusion

Btw I use this flasher https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3dUKfqzZnlwVGc1YnFyUjgxelE/edit?pli=1

Most support for Espruino on ESP8266 is happening via live chat at:

https://gitter.im/espruino/Espruino

I'd invite you to drop in and say hi there. I'm running Blinky now and so far no memory crashes ... so I'd like to see if we can't see what might find ... we have a number of diagnostic tricks available.
