The bug still occurred after applying the patch.

But you were absolutely correct - it just needed to be increased to 
3000ms - then the bug stopped.

Now the question is, what do we do now that we know this?

Also, are you still interested in the contents of the ELD# files? I can 
dump them all into a file at some specific moment in time which you 
request, if needed.

Thanks.
