It's supposed to stop and make you press cycle start. Not a bug, but by
design. The Txxxx is the toolchange, M6 does nothing in turn.

If it's any consolation - I think it's stupid too, and have said as
much.

Please post your problem to the Mach group then there's not just me
complaining about it and I can pipe up there.
