We are, and no we haven't fixed it, it's an issue with the WPI library.

This happens in C++.

I believe it might be due to the typo found in HiTechnicCompass.cpp. I haven't tried correcting this typo to see if it works without throwing an exception but this is probably the issue.

It shouldn't affect compass operations though.
