Ok - perhaps "random" was the wrong word. When the edit bug strikes, the 
resultant lighting state *appears* to be the sum (or difference) of two 
or more other states, or the difference between what was there before 
and the new stare. This might explain the MAC500 reset, since reset is 
on the same channel as shutter open/close.

Will do. This show is now over, but there's a few more in the pipeline!
