Dragon pods.

Is this problem with the attitude control pods to do with fuel sloshing as
has been seen on other craft or is it something new.

The problem was that some propellant tanks weren't pressurized. Looks
like a valve was stuck somewhere or a helium line was blocked.

I'm sure that SpaceX will go with a very fine comb over this Dragon as
soon as they have it back.
