The Following Error shows up a long way from the home switch.  It's the 
PageDown key for moving the Knee closer to the spindle that does it.  And 
flipping between the up/down keys with short knee movements with the 120 lbs on 
the table caused the issues.  

Recall this is open loop motion with no feedback from the servo other than if 
the servo faults which it doesn't.  So weight shouldn't matter.  Should it?  I 
removed the fault output from the servo drive so it can't fault the system.

The comment on the link about Ethernet latency is what interested me.  Again if 
electrical noise causes retries or delays in the Ethernet signalling then that 
could cause this sort of error under heavy load.
