Version 1.5 Bin file

Has anyone had problems with the version 1.5 bin file?

We were at the Milwaukee regionals today and per the recomendation of a FIRST official it was suggested that we might want to upgrade from v1.4 to v1.5 which we did.. Unfortunately the day went from bad to worse...

After upgrading and then re-loading my code, nothing would work.... The RC would not switch the spikes... then after messing with my code for a few hours I decided to try a different RC from the spare parts depot and it worked... but then the joysticks were all messed up where the port 4 joystick X motion reported as the Y position on the dash board viewer and the thumbwheel on port3 changed the port3 X on the dashboard viewer...

Then I got into a long debate with the IFI guy who told me that it had to be my code but I asked him to humor me and lend me another OI unit... So I got a replacement OI unit and that fixed the problem....

I do not know what happened...
I am guessing that the RC unit took a dump and the one that they gave as a replacement wasn't compatible with my OI unit?

Has anyone experienced anything like this with failing OI & RC units before?

PS- I do not have the IFI software that loads the bin file and the hex file together but i did reload my code several times... how nuts is that?
