Cyclone III PLL not locking after reconfig

I'm using dynamic reconfiguration to change frequencies of a Cyclone PLL. 

I'm using the ALTPLLRECONFIG and ALTPLL IPs. 

When I load the new parameters and send configupdate I lose lock as expected but never regain lock. 

 

Any ideas why this may occur? 

 

Thanks, 

Ed

This can happen on stratix 3 FPGA when the re programmed frequency is too low (Like 5 MHz with an input of 20 MHz).
