Wild motors while downloading

I didn't see this issue when I was writing my code as a single main() routine and linking with the easyC libraries, but now that I am implementing the methods in user_routines/user_routines_fast and linking with the Vex_alltimers.lib my robot begins to run the motors and servos randomly while the program is downloading. Once the program has completed its download, things are fine but while the download is taking place it has the nasty habit of driving the motorized arm into the chassis and then some. Could this be an initialization issue or a mismatch of library/firmware versions? If I don't figure this out I will have to unplug motors while downloading or this thing is going to tear itself apart.
