This is probably a one off but here's what happened. Clearing the command line and issuing a sneak. Took out all channels except four and no matter how hard I tried I could not sneak them out with a clear command line. If I selected the four channels and then issued the sneak command all went out as expected. I decided to check the patch for those four channels and used the flash function on them . They flashed as expected but clearing the command line did not stop the flashing. I exited Ion (backed out to the shell) then went back in and every thing worked normally. This was about two hours ago and I've been checking to make sure things are still OK and they are but I'd sure like to know if it was something I did or just a bad boot ??
