Where are they called from? How quickly are they called? Does rebooting the robot affect anything, or is restarting the driver station application the only thing that makes it work again?

I just got in here a little while ago... It turns out that the problem was not related to the calls to DriverStationLCD, removing those lines only made the error occur much later. All is well now. Thanks.

So... for anyone else who runs into this behavior, please explain what it ended up being and how you fixed it.

Thanks

Sorry, no problem. 'message' was sometimes being indexed out of an array prior to those two lines and I had sized the array incorrectly, so I was getting IndexOutOfBounds exceptions I did not see the exceptions because I was using a development machine separate from the DS. Fixing that by properly sizing the array was the solution (i'm ashamed that I missed this)

I do not know why commenting the two lines with DriverStationLCD seemed to delay the problem. It may have been a coincidence...

I apologize for the confusion. DriverStationLCD appears to work as intended and was not the cause of my trouble. Thank you for your responses.

Bill
