20 is 0x14 which is bank zero error.  I think you are the 2nd person to 
report a transient bank 0 problem.   Thats odd since I would expect a 
bank 0 error to be permanent.  The code does several re-reads before 
giving up and throwing the error.  From errors that dsd has reported 
I've been suspecting that there is some timing that may be marginal 
since a reset fixes it I wonder if there is something that is going 
wrong and messing up the 1-wire timing.
