Finding the root cause is always a really good thing! Without it, there is always a bit of assumption and finger pointing that may or may not be substantiated. It's good to know it wasn't the Jag's.
Whenever you have a "bussed" environment, a failure in the buss can have variety of symptoms, some obvious, some not so obvious.
This also re-enforces the need to have quality cable connections and well built cables. Oh, and BTW, having a decent cable continuity tester is invaluable, and cheap too!
