Thats ok - that looks like the CI library polling the CAM module for data, 
which is the correct operation.

That seems to be an error from the CAM itself - the CI interface appears to be 
functioning correctly. It _could_ be a problem with the defragmenter in the 
driver however, but I would have thought something like that to have shown up 
before now.

I know some people have got it to work with an Aston CAM.
