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?

    Hi Glen,

    Bug #12705, which deals with dmx values going to zero during patch/unpatch is currently under development and targetted to our next patch release (3.0.3). Bug #12707 deals with the DP8000 losing random programmer values when the programmer has been sitting idle with data for a long period of time. We are still gathering information about that bug and it will most likely be targetted to our next patch release as well. I have commented into bug #12705, regarding your pain.
