Gems 1.13.3 "Bad encode Mask"

["Jane L. Barth" <jbglobal@earthlink.net>]

When testing Central Count, I connect OK, run starter card and then 1 ballot.  Receive these errors:

On the AccuVote:
   Com read failed
   Deck not committed
   Press yes button ? re-read deck!!!
In Gems log file:

   10/21/99 11:48:08  Lost Deck! 10 on 192.168.3.11
Never received this error before?  Any ideas?

Thanks,
