Dear all

one of our groups has had the bad fortune of finding a new and exciting bug
with the cogent pc while scanning a patient population (fun!).

To whit: numbers begin to pop up as though either the keyboard or button
box keys are being pressed (within and outside of matlab). However, the
button box LEDs do not light up at the same time, suggesting that it is
something with either the Cogent PC, USB connections, or the signalling
from the button box relay.

Bottom line: if you encounter this problem and Joerg, Peter, Oliver, or I
are around, please get us right away so we can try to track down.  If it's
out of hours, email right away with a description of the issue.  In the
latter case, to try to debug, restart the cogent PC after [carefully!]
unplugging and replugging the USB connections to the PC and button box.

In the meantime, we will try to figure out what is going on. If it's the
button box (now 11+ years) Peter and Joerg have created a new button box
system which should not require rewriting any programs.

Please let me know, and hope that this never happens again (as unlikely as
this may be.. )

best
Fred
