Haywire Servos When First Using Bv4113?

I noticed an unusual reoccuring glitch while I played with the BV4113 last night. For some reason, the servos attached to D1 and D2 would go crazy the first time I did anything with the BV4113 (which was connected to D0). The problem would go away after I moved the D1 and D2 servos but reappear each time I rebooted the EZ-B but only during the...
