Yeah... that doesn't like quite right at all :/

obp_nextnode() is actually very simple in that it just calls the Forth 
"peer" word. Do you see the same phandles if you cycle through the 
device tree using "peer" directly from the OpenBIOS prompt?

0 peer
dup u. peer
dup u. peer
dup u. peer
..etc..


ATB,
