I haven't gone looking to see why that is, but it's very repeatable.  I
discovered it because I just made some spring-loaded "normally closed" • feelers.

This also happens if you have light sensors attached to the RCX. The only way
to get the semi-random junk to go away with light sensors attached is to (duh)
un-attach the light sensors, or turn the RCX on and off repeatedly, until no
junk is displayed.
