[TenTec] possible bug in new Orion II firmware

I downloaded the new firmware today. Unfortunately, I discovered the
internal tuner will now not properly tune out the SWR on 40 meters. When I
press the tune button it emits a relatively short carrier but does not
reduce the SWR. When I then key the radio in CW mode, it shows a high SWR
message. Subsequent attempts to cause the tuner to re-tune make no
difference and the SWR remains high. I do not know whether it does some
other bands. So far I have tried it only on 40 meters.
The previous firmware version did not exhibit this problem. I wonder if
this has been observed by anyone else.
