I know how you feel -- on my last project we had to use logic gates to
control when the output would actually go through.  In the program,
only by setting both pin 0 low and 1 high would we let the other 6
outputs function - since an errant high would give us big problems. 
(We tied our weather balloon release mechanism to a DIO line.  If it
signaled on startup, our glider would come down way too soon)
If anyone comes up with a better fix (ie. software) I'd be very
interested as well.  As for now my hardware fix does work...
