Mark,

I don't expect you to remember, but I raised a similar issue a while ago.
With me it was a particular light that never had it's backup state saved.
The thought then was the same, something in an event. But I agree with Carl.
I only have two things in any event that would ever set that light to off.
Both are when a timer IS NOW 0, which shouldn't happen on startup at all.

I also *occasionally* have items not properly backed up when I reboot, but
never anything that is replicable.

:Peter,
:Such is usually caused by an Event setting them to 0
:(either on exit or on startup).
