By this last statement, I meant if you were entering the if condition
during rise event with -6.

You don't have to get super crazy :-).  Do whatever you think will
help.  Like I said, I don't see the same error on my system, but I
also don't have your data (your code might have changed the class
variables before the if statement during the "rise" event is what I
was thinking).
