Russell, I wasn't saying that stop buttons aren't disabling motion.  What I
was saying, is that when the last stop button is released, sometimes the
axis goes live immediately without waiting for an amplifier reset, and
hence would instantly respond to commands, rather than waiting for an AXIS
INIT.
