### Original description

On some boards (maybe those with the FT232RL datecode 1138 (2011 week 38)), uploading seems to fail with the avrdude 5.10 in Arduino 1.0 using the "arduino" programmer type. With the stk500v1 protocol (which doesn't do the auto reset in avrdude), the upload seems to work: http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,81330.15.html

I wonder if the problem is with the timing of the delay for the auto-reset in the arduino programmer type in the new avrdude. Maybe this particular version of the FTDI hardware / drivers ignores pulses of less than a certain length of something similar.
