I second this. A fantastic effort, Michael.

The log you provided on the GitHub issue looks really helpful, and I see Dimitri has replied:

dmitry1945 <https://github.com/dmitry1945> commented 6 hours ago <https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf#issuecomment-441391665>
Thank you @dexterbg <https://github.com/dexterbg>, the place is clear.

Hopefully Dimitri can find the issue from here. So many little bugs in wifi and bluetooth stacks causing us random issues - it would be helpful to be able to update to the latest IDF.

Thanks, and Regards,
Mark.
