Updated CAN Jaguar Issue

In any case, we solved it by wrapping the constructors in a try block, and putting that in a loop so that we kept retrying the initialization until successful. The first Jag would occasionally have to be tried a couple of times before success.

Whoops, missed your post. Our code gives up without retrying--that's a good idea. I'll test that when I get there today.

Also, thanks for the hints, drakesword.
