Paul,

We found the same thing when we upgraded to 3.1.2.1.  I have a PMR open
(29691,500), however, the only workaround
at this time is to manually close the E/E port by pressing the open/close
button.   If you don't manually close it, any subsequent attempts to use the E/E
port will fail with an I/O error, with the description: "device not in a state
capable of
performing request".

Hope this helps,
