It seems to be more random than that on mine. Seems rather nonsensical.

Is it possible that the S3 switch is the problem?  Some of these switches 
get snarky and require some exercise to work reliably.  The same problem can 
affect the switch that lets you select between the AUI and BNC ports.

My 4000/90 (in a 60 case; I'm not sure why the discrepancy) doesn't have any 
difficulty, although I don't know if that's terribly informative.
