Answering my own post here in case the information is useful to others in the future.  I took the pypilot.conf out of the distribution package and replaced mine and everything is stable again, even though the old (that caused the crazy behavior) and new had same gains.   I have the old pypilot.conf saved and someday I'll carefully compare to see what the difference is.

In other news, I've never been able to get route following to work.  As soon as I select GPS mode, the plugin disconnects briefly and then reconnects in compass mode.  I'm carefully watching the other active threads on this subject.

As other have said, I'm not complaining here.  My first season with openplotter/pypilot has been great.  I'm blown away by the capability of this technology.  Great work Sean.

I had the same issue when I used the Moitessier Hat noobs or .img... I rebuilt using the starting.img and the problem has gone away. If you are using the Moitiessier hat image or started from a much older build I would encourage you to try this.
