Problem Title:

1.5i SpartanXL PAR - Divide by Zero crash


Problem Description:
PAR crash during placement with Dr. Watson error:

Exception: divide by zero (0x0000094), Address: 0x01754f7c



Solution 1:

This bug is caused by the ram generation code dividing a number
by the number of tbufs. When that number is zero this bug occurs.
A workaround is to set PAR_NOGENRAMBLOCK.
