We were able to find the bug and the reason for the bus errors.  In our python file that distributes random sources to our frame, we discovered a breakdown in the if statement that would cause bus failures and further problems.

We fixed this issue: the bitwise '&' operator in python versus the boolean 'and' operator.  This is a small fix, but a necessary one that helps with fresh eyes to our code.

On Thursday and Friday of this week, Dustin and I ran some tests to make sure we weren't getting any more bus errors on Maverick and tried to make sure that we weren't having any code issues with the cure repository.  Further results to be found next week.
