But today, when I try to run my Home or Probe programs, the whole system goes completely nuts - the display goes insane, CompileAndLoad always fails, and the only recovery is kill the app, and power cycle the board. I've traced the problem down to the one place in my app where I still do a call to KM_Controller.UpdateMainStatus(), in order to test whether a particular thread is running. If I comment out that call, all is well. So, since we know UpdateMainStatus is broken in v428, is there a way to work around this?
