Cannot maintain a constant PWM - only get about 10 cycles out of my DS1050-025

Hi Andy - 

 I had my DS1050-025 running, for a while, but now I can only get about 3 to 10 cycles out it.  I have gone back over changes I have made, but nothing seems to help.  Here is the test code I am currently trying.  I open the DS1050 i2c, using address 0x28 ( as shown by i2cdetect on my Raspberry Pi, which this hardware is on).  Then I write 0x50 (set PMW command) followed by the data (shown as 0x10h - which should be 50% PWM).

I close the file descriptor, call the second function, where I open the DS1050 in i2c again, writing 0x50 (set PWM command) followed by the data 0x20 as shown on the DS1050 data sheet.  Then again close the file descriptor.  I have tried combining the two functions and write 0x50, 0x10, 0x50, 0x20 and the close i2c with the same results.

Hope you can help,
