M8 randomly stops working? Does anyone else have this Glitch with their Pathpilot software and/or machine?

I will be running a batch of parts, and randomly, (out of nowhere on part# 10, or part #14, or whenever), the machine will stop reading M8 code.
Suddenly, the coolant won't turn on?

I hit the COOLANT ON tab on-screen, and the coolant comes on for that part run. M9 stops it at the end

Then, next part, again No Coolant!! M8 didn't work.

So I go to the MDI Bar, and manually type in M8, Enter, and the coolant comes on. Type in M9, Enter, coolant shuts off.

Next part, the M8 is working again!!

Huh?

This has happened to me several times in the past.

Really weird glitch. Has anyone else experienced this?

I have never had this happen, maybe a control cable glitch or something similar?

The only thing that comes to mind was in sprutcam tapping cycle the rapid would change to a feedrate speed but this was each time I ran the program in the same place.

edit: maybe the relay contacts or something similar intermittent

I've had the pump get gummed up so it won't start a few times, but it's not been random on then off then on again.

In a previous version of pathpilot, under very specific conditions, it would skip the first M01 in a program but otherwise, I've never seen it skip a line of code as you're describing.
