Last theory is that the failure was in software:
"Encouraging developments continued for Opportunity's twin, Spirit,
too. Engineers have determined that Spirit's flash memory hardware is
functional, strengthening a theory that Spirit's main problem is in
software that controls file management of the memory. "I think we've
got a patient that's well on the way to recovery," said Mars
Exploration Rover Project Manager Pete Theisinger at NASA's Jet
Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif."

DISCLAIMER: I'm not sure if the software of the Spirit is in Ada or C
(It was commented recently but I can't remember). I don't post this to
start another language flamewar or another session of backpatting; I
think simply that people in this group can be interested in this kind
of news.
If you know of another group where this is being discussed I would be
grateful if you can point it to me.
Kind regards!
