RST-135 not finishing commands was created by Thomas Mason

Recently I have noticed instances where my RST-135 won't complete a slew. It has happened in sequences with a meridian flip but I have also seen it when I manually slew to a target in stars. Here is a log from a failed meridian flip last night:

It doesn't happen all the time - meridian flip worked OK the night before. I am using PHD2 - there may be some weird interaction between ekos and PHD2? PHD2 is setup to stop guiding on a slew. I running most recent stars 3.6.6 on ubuntu.
