Just as a precaution, I really hope you are hungry. We experienced the "8.2V problem" over the weekend at the VCU regional. Ricky Torrance from IFI was there, and we reviewed the problem with him. We were not able to confirm it in the time we had to work the problem, but issues with overwhelming the interrupt handler was one of the two plausible explanations we were able to identify (the other was a memory overrun situation into a specific unprotected memory space that affected the ADC lines).

At the time, we only had that one known case of the problem to give to IFI as an example, which limited the options for investigation of the problem. As of this afternoon, IFI is aware that the problem may be larger, and is looking in to it. We have pointed them to this thread for more information.
