Spoilboard Surfacing - 2D Adaptive Clearing - Tool Bottoming Out

A few years back i had one such case where the machine would go into e-stop while working very rarely, this was a plasma CNC with parallel port control, turned out keyboard being near the main torch cable triggered it.
Removing keyboard and mouse cables as far from spindle and mains cables as a starting point, maybe...

Could be any number of things burping or causing interference I s'pose; the OptiPlex control computer, Mesa 7i76E, VFD,I dunno.  Appreciate your input.  The control computer and its accompanying keyboard are in the neighborhood of 3 feet, possibly a smidge more from enclosure, VFD and it's main cable.

Funny thing is, I created a second program that surfaced the short distance Y depth and it too quit about 1/3rd way into it.  Ran it a second time and it ran in its entirety.  Would seem there is an issue.  Think I will take spumco's suggestion and hopefully be provided some insight as to what is happening.

No immediate idea why it quit, but a helpful tool to debug is to run LCNC from the terminal.  Leave the terminal open in the background and if/when it stops you can check the terminal output.

The output may be cryptic when/if it vomits, but you can copy/paste the output - at least the last few lines before it stops - and paste it here.
 

I will certainly do as recommended.  Since the anomaly occurred twice, two different programs, it could be that it is easily repeatable.  Fun fun fun.  Appreciate the guidance.

That sounds like outer source of interference so that is much harder to find, but in general try to follow what other equipment in the shop/house/neighborhood turns on to trigger this.
Yes, neighborhood can cause such issues, same power grid.
Compressors and big fridges are the main suspects, the any bigger power machine.
