I just tested it and what you have listed above isn't the problem.  I don't know if this bug has been reported or not.

If you hit "Cycle Start" after M3, and before the spindle is up to speed, it causes the machine to move to 0,0,0 and the spindle to run at its slowest speed.

Here is the same code without the H00.  I'll test it tonight when I get home to see if it has any affect.

I just ran the program 8 times in a row without incident, so I'm sure it was related to the accidental double-click.  It would be interesting to see if it happens to other versions of Mach 3. 

The steps to recreate the bug are somewhat specific.  It isn't a true double-click, but the 2nd click has to happen while the spindle is still getting up to speed.  Once it is going, another click doesn't cause any problems. 

I don't think it is related to my G-Code, but it is attached.

This is a repeatable problem.  Here is a video of it. It runs the first tool fine. As soon as it starts the spindle after the tool change, if you accidentally click "Cycle Start" again, it moves all axis to 0,0,0, sets the spindle to 250, and seems to change the feed to 8 ips.

Obviously this isn't anything I would ever do intentionally, but it seems like somethings that would be easy to fix in the Mach 3 code.

Sorry about the video quality.

I had a problem with my controller last night.  I loaded a program, and it ran without incident.  I put a fresh piece of stock in the vise, and hit “Cycle Start” again.  It ran through the first tool without any problems.  After the tool change to the 2nd tool, the spindle speed changed to 250 rpm, and all three axis moved to 0,0,0, ignoring the tool length offset, which crashed the tool into the vise.

This happened to me once before, several months ago.  Since then it has all operated as normal.

I don’t know how easy it is to tell in the picture, but the last commanded line was X.0223 Y-.5 S2600  and you can see on the display X&Y are zero and the speed is 250.  The Z shows a large number because I jogged the Z axis up so the tool was out of the vise.

Where do I find the files listed above?  I think I found the XML file, but I haven't been able to locate the license or the tool table files.

Thanks,

Scott
