And it just locked up again, but this time I nay have a clue. I had been 
making some drill bit length measurements using G38.2 but thats 
preliminary to this and I don't think its related.

I had composed and set a couple of vars to record the height of the pcb 
I'm using as a contact point, added a debug after this beginning of a 
subroutine came back from its call, saved and reloaded into lcnc and 
everything is fine.  Hit the step button once, then realized I had left 
the drill actually touching the workpiece, not a good thing, so I 
automatically touched the up key. It was still sitting at the end of the 
first step, not having moved the machine.  At that point it was locked, 
but did after several seconds, clear a spot at the bottom right like it 
was preparing to write a few jillion "can't do that" messages, But it 
never got even the first character written to the screen. So I think it 
intended to do that, and went boom in an error handler. Stupid operator 
at work. :(

So by now its rebooted, and I can probably continue, but that ought to 
get you closer to this lockup I'm getting, hope so anyway. 5 times in 
the last few days.

Good luck hunting. :( But please don't let it spoil your memorial day.
