You can try to define the strings, then an array of strings... doesn't
make a difference for C, but maybe for MPLAB.

  typedef int8_t LogString[40];
  LogString LogData[10];

Also, maybe you can watch LogData[0] etc... does this make a difference?
Or try to use char instead of int8_t. Even though it's typedef'ed, you
never know what MPLAB does with this...
