To Giles and other interested parties,

I found another bug in the pmac driver (version 2-4-10):

The section of code in the pmacAxis::home() function that is 
conditionally compiled based on the macro REMOVE_LIMITS_ON_HOME does not 
check for the PMAC_CID_POWER CID value, so when using a Power Brick 
controller it simply logs an error (if enabled) and exits.

The older version of the driver I was using had the definition of the 
PMAC_CID_POWER macro commented out, so the offending section of code was 
not included and it would just send the home command regardless of what 
type of controller you have.

For now, I commented this macro out in the newer version to get the same 
behavior as the older one.
