Eric, Thanks for looking into it. I think i've figured it out.
SET_WAIT ON + SET JOG == crashing your machine. It seems that when EMC is set to SET_WAIT on it stops listening for any other commands until the given command completes. Since a jog doesn't complete, it just goes until it crashes or you stop it manually. This explains the problem I was having the other day, and may be useful to others in the future. If your telnet interface is going to have a jog mode, make sure you send SET SET_WAIT NONE before jogging.
