Losing Fixtures (homing up)

I just setup a show with the new software 3.0.0 and as I was wringing out the system I noticed that I would have to grab and shake some fixtures before they would "Home" down. At one point I went away for about an hour and when I came back about half the rig was homed up again. The units immediatly find themselves if either pan or tilt is touched. Is this some kind of DMX hickup I am getting with the new software? Nothing else on this system has changed so I am not sure what else this could be.

I am using a Whole Hog III with Playback Wing and 2 External Monitors and a DP 2000 with the following fixtures patched;
12 Mac 2k Profiles
12 Mac 2k Washes
12 575 Studio Spots
12 575 Studio Colors

This problem is not isolated to any one type of fixture. I am routed through an Iso Splitter on each of the three moving light universes in the DP 2000 but I have never had this problem with this system before. Any suggestions?

    Im on a showsite right now with 2 seperate systems and we are experiencing similar problems.

    system 1
    Hog III
    DP 2000
    D link Switch
    MAc 2k/ VL 3k and vl 2500

    system 2
    Hog III
    DP 2000 (crossover cable)
    DL 2
    Mac 2k
    VL 3500

    Both systems running 3.0.1

    Seems to be in pan and tilt on on all types of fixtures at random seems to have lost output. Happens when no cue lists are active and nothing is in the programmer. the output window show no value snd no source of control. As soon as you run a cue list, or grab the fixtures in the programmer they go where they are told...
