Encoder Death

We installed Kevin's encoder routines per the nine-step encoder.txt file directly into the 2007 default code base.

It all seems to work great with one exception:

20 seconds after power up the processor goes belly up (red blinking light of death + disable light).

Pressing reset fixes it and we are on our way.

Any ideas what is going on?

We have started completely over 3 times with different folks doing the 9 steps just to make sure we didn't miss anything. Still death after about 20 seconds.

Removing the Encoder code fixes the problem.

Any ideas? I'm stumped....
