Yes, I have. At the NAMES 2000 meeting I worked over the phone with Dave
Anderson trying to track this down, and it's a software problem. NAMES
was April 28 and 29th 2000, after your February EMC release, so you have
the problem also. You may be able to spot it in
emcmot.c/emcstepmot.c/emcfreqmot.c, depending upon which was compiled
into the .o file that was linked into your stepper control module.

Can you run the most recent EMC release?
