Interesting.  I had assumed that they had to be enabled, so didn't pay
any attention to them.  So you're saying that the input lines for the
limit switches always have to be connected.  If they are floating, they
can randomly stop the hardware.  That would explain some of the strange
behavior that I've seen.
