11.3.1 build 13 released for XO-1.75

[Martin Langhoff]

So the question is -- what's different about the first S/R cyce. And one
obvious (naive?) answer is:  it is killing USB.

Subsequent S/R cycles, perhaps benefit from a faster / different S/R
codepath that doesn't have to deal with USB.

cheers,
