The only thing I can think of is that the RESET does clear any channel
status that would cause a conflict.  Since IPL Text is at the other end of
a channel.. maybe that is the issue.

After shutting down a system, we always performed a RESET.  Got burned a
few times with channels that caused issues on other systems without the
RESET.
