But we agree that it isn't a problem in practice. I consider it a minor cosmetic blemish on otherwise shiny code.
Hmmm... Maybe I'm clueless here (wouldn't be the first time <grin>). I guess I'll have to crack the code open and have a look at what's going on.

BTW, when you say it only happens when EEPROM is being written, is it my code that's doing the writing? Is my camera code running too?
