Someone has already stated that they can invoke the "8.2 mode" using the pre-compiled gyro code from my website. As this code was compiled with 2.44, I don't think 2.44 is the cure.

My guess is that most teams aren't having a problem, and that something really low-level and sinister is the root of the problem. I'm also using a hand-built early beta version of the robot controller, which may be a contributing factor.
