-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 What's strange here is this doesn't seem to happen with speakout over the serial port - just when I use soft synth. But I always get the "invalid parameter' err when one of the variables is being catted. I guess I'm gonna have to write a script that cats one variable at a time and inserts messages before each one in order to help identify the culprate.
