Error: G96 S word missing

[Diekie]

Here are the steps I follow to reproduce the issue:

1.With initial setup of the program, The program runs well, and I can produce a few components, But as soon as I stop the program while it is busy, ( I noticed my tool was blunt / Insert needed to be replaced ) So I stopped the program while it was busy cutting.

2. Once the Program was stopped during a program, I can't get the program to restart again. It gived a error ; G96 S word missing
3. I See another user has the same problem: He says just commanding G97 in MDI, allows you to continue running the same program. I restarted linuxcnc.
4. See Link: https://forum.linuxcnc.org/38-general-linuxcnc-questions/33627-bugs-issues-found-running-a-lathe-in-2-8-0-pre1#102320

This is what I expected to happen: To restart the program

This is what happened instead: Error: G96 S word missing. I had to restart linuxcnc, But apparently G97 in Mdi will allow you to continue?

It worked properly before this:

The same program used to work 100% on the last 2.7 distribution

This issue seems to be fixed, though I have asked for a review of the fix.
