Viewstat Module Trouble

Greetings,
I am having trouble with a system that uses Viewstats with the Netlinx module version 3.1.
Upon bootup, the module typically sends a broadcast command for each thermostat to report a value. The module then waits some predetermined delay time to send the next command based on how many stats you tell the module you have.
In the case of the system that I am working on, the module starts as normal but then sends all of the broadcast commands almost immediately one after another wreaking havoc on the stat bus. It's as if the module's internal timeline or wait structure is not functioning.
Since the module is provided compiled from AMX, I don't see what I could have done to cause such a problem.
Any ideas?

Do not name your thermostat's LOCATION with a name that starts with a number. The module will mis-interpret the name for part of the stat number and wreak havoc with communications.
My thermostat 7 was named "1FL BATH" It came back from the module as thermostat 71. Changing the stat name to something starting with a letter solved my whole problem!
