RunApp.py fails with 'Exception : Invalid status 6d00'

• Python 2.7
• Nano S - open at dashboard
• ECPy version==0.8.1 (to get around 'ECPy requires Python '>=3' but the running Python is 2.7.13' issue)

Command:
$ python -m ledgerblue.runApp --targetId 0x31100002 --appName Bitcoin

Trace:

results appear to be the same regardless of the argument passed to --appName (or whether or not the argument is enclosed in quotes).

Start with ledgerblue/runApp.py and follow the failing call into ledgerblue/hexLoader.py and ledgerblue/comm.py, using the reported command and traceback as the reproduction. Determine why the Nano S returns status 6d00 and verify that the loader handles the reported invocation successfully.
