[android-developers] Strange uniform location values returned after successful compile/link (not optimized out -1 problem)

A very strange thing happening on the latest 4.2 update of the Nexus 7. I am using a common framework to pass data to shaders over a standard "contract". When I switched a certain shader from per-pixel to per-vertex lighting, but keeping basically the same data types, I began having odd problems passing in a vec4 array uniform, but only in that specific driver. Here are steps I have verified:

No compile or link errors.
No errors (not -1) while looking up uniform locations (more on those).

All other shaders are working fine and have been working well for months.

The location code, which is normally 0 through some-small-number that is returned on prior calls is huge only in this shader. I'm sure there's no standard as to what those values are (as long as they're not -1) and NV might be using a mask to determine the location in memory where this data might reside, but when using these odd values, I get undefined results.

Below is the output from the log. Note that some values are fine and others are strange (8213, 3158020) and cause crashes when accessed

NOTE: locCache is what glGetUniformLocation returns after successful link.

This has been driving me crazy for several days now. I have double and triple checked everything I can think of. If posting the vert/fragment shaders would help, I'd be glad to. Does anyone have a thought on this one?

Thanks in advance,

Roger
