Turns out I changed ONE line of code this morning before taking it out and had not bothered to check it on the laboratory pulse meter. I mean it was a very simple change {:>).   It didn't work on it any better back at home than it did on the aircraft.  But, it was a relief to know it was a simply code screw up.  Eliminated that line of code and all is back working.
in a prior life I was a systems programmer for anheuser-busch.  You can take out an entire brewery operation with "one simple change" on a mainframe at the systems level.  Usually, however, the problem is discovered about 3am!  When you think about how changing a binary one to a zero in a program with billions of ones and zeros can render the whole thing useless it is amazing it ever works.
