Default dimmer issue

hey,
had a weird issue crop up during a show tonight, never seen it happen before and was wondering if any one else had experienced it.
in the venue we run about 200 dimmer channels off a strand 520i, majority of the dimmers are jands roadpack's and a solution 12 rack.
i did a blackout on the desk (cue0 go) and everything went out except for 1 lamp, the desk said nothing was up so did a few checks on the desk etc. everything was fine. pulled dmx and rebooted etc. still the lamp was on.
went to check the dimmer, it reported no faults, so pulled the dmx there, still the lamp was on. unpatched and repatched the lamp and it remained on. power cycled the dimmer and it still stayed on, so in the end had to repatch the lamp to continue the show.
anyone know why the lamp got stuck on, or experienced this problem before? i am thinking something in the dimmer rack may be a bit iffy, possibly the processor or something on that individual dimmer channel??

cheers
