0.8.0-rc.3 - bug?

Troubleshooting
1

This works in 0.8.0-rc.1

void cloud_set_apn(void){
   //Check that the modem is on and ready for AT commands
   DEBUG("Checking if modem is on");
   int response =  Cellular.command(5000, "AT\r\n");
   while( response != RESP_OK ){
  DEBUG("Modem not responding... must not be on!");
	  Cellular.on();
  response =  Cellular.command(5000, "AT\r\n");
  Particle.process();
   };
  }

in 0.8.0-rc.3 it is stuck in the loop forever.
