Ouch! I'd rather not have 5000 degrees in my hand.
I noticed our M-O has a similar obsession, instead of sanitizing
the scavenger droids it had taken to polishing peoples shoes and
lower-calves, moaning "woah-woah-woah-woah" at everyone. I think
the problem is actually the Garbage collection routine programmed
onto the 31 series boards. Attached is a patch file which fixed
ours, maybe it can help you?

Thanks for the patch, attached is the tweaks I made to get it

working on the BURN-O, in case anyone else runs into this problem,

I guess all the 31 series is buggy, but at least M-O is adorable,

the BURN-O is over 9 feet tall!
