SGPro can't connect to my FLI camera anymore!!!

I finally cleared up and I wanted to take the remaining data for my Heart Nebula image. Set everything up. Checked everything (so I though during the day) and when I wanted to start imaging...

... SGPro couldn't connect to my FLI camera anymore!!!

I clicked the connect button, it would turn to green and then after a while would disconnect again. In the SGPro logs I could see:

Tried various things (restart SGPro, restart computer, different cable...) with no effect. The weird thing was that other apps (FLI Grab, TSX) could connect and use the camera.

I posted on the SGPro mailing list and it seems as if this is a regression in one of the latest builds. I tried 2.5.2.8 and 2.5.2.6 without luck. Only when reverted back to 2.5.2.3 (quite old!) it that worked. Phew!
