I'm having a strange glitch that I encounter when using the transport object.

Basically, I have a patch which displays a series of slides (essentially either using combinations of the fpic object as well as hiding and showing bpatchers), which is controlled by a transport object acting as a clock (eg. counting in seconds and minutes). Using timepoint objects, I am sending out bangs at a certain elapsed time, which trigger the correct combinations of slides. At the end of the cycle, it waits for user input, and then resets, running the sequence again. So this is a very simple set up.

However, I have noticed something strange and extremely annoying with the transport object. Once in every 10 or 15 repetitions, after about 8 seconds it resets itself back to zero. This causes problems with the operation of the patch. It is a very strange problem, as I cannot accurately replicate it - it is seemingly completely random, occurring at totally unpredictable times - nor can I find an explanation for why it behaves in this way (I have looked very comprehensively at how the transport is being reset usually, and find no explainable way as to why it should be reset). I know these problems are usually to do with some sort of rogue object triggering things, but I really don't think this is the case here. The only information I have to go with is when it does happen, it happens at the same point in the sequence. Other than that, I have no explanation for it.

Has anybody else had a comparable problem?
