I hate to respond to this, because it makes me look stupid, but… :) The problem turned out to be that the original author was using buffered IO to do the sysfs writes (which I didn’t notice until yesterday). When I switched to a different method, the writes were ordered correctly and didn’t glitch. Apologies for bothering you all, and great thanks for your assistance! Thanks again! Seth
