Some, but not all, controls are ... haunted!

Many dials and drop downs within instruments and filters will dial them selves down to 0 or up to 100 when I try to set them. Several XY pads do the same. This happens no matter if I mouse them or type in a number. it seems to be intermittent. Some always do it, some occasionally, some never (so far).

Not sure whether to report this to a programmer or an exorcist.

I ran MIDI Monitor (great third party program) and see a lot of lines like this in the log:
23:22:53.244 From Bus 1 Control 16 Controller 109 125
23:22:53.244 To Bus 1 Control 16 Controller 109 125
23:22:53.457 From Bus 1 Control 16 Controller 109 127
23:22:53.457 To Bus 1 Control 16 Controller 109 127

Is Live sending crazy MIDI signals to itself?

Hi,

Please make sure you don't have a MIDI feedback loop going on. Look into the MIDI preferences, for virtual MIDI ports being connected to one another, or, a short-circuit between you MIDI interface In and Out.
