I don't know if this is widely known, and whether it applies to the GND pin and other chips;
but the internal power pins of the X40 are connected.
I have been spending a LONG time trying to find a short circuit in my power lines and in doing so (well, still haven't found the SC but I getting close) I discovered that the power pins of the 40X are internally connected. In front of me right now, I can test with the multimeter and it gives 0ohms between the two pins. I'm using a breadboard and one of the two pins isn't connected to anything, so they aren't connected by the rest of the circuitry.
Not sure if this is well known or not, or whether it is a fault in my chip (it still behaves fine).
Anyway, I'm of to sniff out that dmn short circuit.
