Oooh, thanks for that too. I've been having this issue with '.21-fixes' too.

Have you tried running it again? I often find just running setup again and
doing the same thing works second time round. (I assume the tuner is getting

It sounds like a race condition, which would be less likely to show up with
a single CPU.
