When you say "run-away condition", do you mean the motors move without
being commanded, or otherwise somehow move out of control?

The stepgen uses a P controller, so it should output a pulse train only
if position-cmd differs from position-fb.
velocity-cmd is its current velocity, "commanded" by the stepgen module
itself, never by a human. A better name for it would be "velocity-fb"...
I'm not sure how to debug these following errors you and Matt Shaver are
having. As I understand it, you get following errors if the trajectory
planner asks the joint to move, but the joint doesnt do it, or doesnt do
it correctly. Clearly the joint *is* moving, but maybe not how the TP
expects it to?
The TP breaks the path down into short line segments, right?
