It shouldn't be. The "stop_rxtx failed" error is because either CSR5_TS or CSR5_RS are still set in CSR5. This means the chip thinks the transmit or receive protocol engines are still running.
What I suspect is the state isn't "running" by rather some other "hung" state caused by failed (lack of) link. This has been reported before but I've not looked that closely yet.

I might. I first have to stare at the tulip programmers guide a while sort.
