I think this is a known problem (not sure there's a ticket on it).  I
believe that what is happening is that on the faster machine, the Tx
pipeline in the FPGA is getting disabled before it has a chance to
drain.  The result of this is that the pipeline is halted with a
non-zero constant value getting clocked into the DACs resulting in a
carrier for all daughterboards that contain an LO.

The short list is below, full list attached.

Is there a way I can track the problem ticket or patch, if any?
