We did not see this problem when we upgraded to V10 at the Sac regional.

If you are not using the custom pwm outputs, and have the default call that sets them up at the end of the main loop, try commenting this code out. We have had strange behavior, in the past, when this call was left in and taking it out is standard procedure at this point.

Another thing for you to check is that you are running the patch that was published by IFI late in the build period last year. Without it, you can get bad effects upon startup. If you started with this year's default code, you would have this patch.

If you resolve the problem, please post the resolution.
