The first thing I would note, a high output is generated by the board for 100ms when it receives one of it's programmed inputs, not a low. So what you describe indicates that "3" was "being used" and 1,2 and 4 were "not being used". EDIT: Bummer, Alan beat me to it.

So, this brings up a couple of questions, which Dig. input ports/connectors were your signals attached to? Were those ports declared as inputs? How does your code "latch" in those signals?
