Power Up Code Error / System Crash

Hi all,

I'm seeing some weird behavior out of the RC, and was wondering if anyone has seen similar.

We are using Kevin Watson's ifi_sensor workspace as a baseline, and have multiple modules plugged in on top of it, tied together in various ways. Pretty standard stuff.

When the robot is first turned on, there is a code error, and the red light blinks. Upon a reset, the code runs smoothly as expected; resetting the RC after initial boot does not cause this problem. The bug seems to be limited to full power cycles only.

Is there any extra initialization on a cold boot? I believe I may be tripping the watch dog, but can't be entirely sure.

Thanks!
