The first step in tracing what's causing my unreliable buttons.

I connected the same hardware to a 3B+ running pCP4.  From a fresh image
I installed LMS and sbpd, then copied my sbpd command configuration file
and my calling script over from the 4B.  All nine buttons seem
completely reliable on this setup.

So that would appear to rule out the hardware.  This evening I'll do a
'bare wires' test on the 4B.  And I'll go back to a fresh pCP6 image.

By running sbpd in 'verbose' mode I can easily see when a button
triggers an event.  When the buttons are behaving unreliably, I often
see that a physical press of the button does nothing, so it's not clear
how to investigate this any further.  If my fresh pCP6 image and bare
wires don't improve things, I guess I can test every GPIO pin one by
one, using bare wires, to see if some pins are more reliable than
others.
