Overheat Bug

Currently there seems to be an issue with Overheating.
Now unless there has been a change that isn't noted in the patch logs somewhere, I'm going to call it a bug.

What happens is when you turn off overheat, unless you also turn off the module it continues to add heat and cause heat damage.
Was attempting to catch someone today, overheated my Afterburner initially to get a burst of speed then turned off the OH after a few seconds; when I next looked down all my modules were still taking damage despite OH being off. It eventually burnt out 2 of my modules until I turned off the module that had initially been OH'd to begin with.

This was probably a more dramatic case as I was primarily using T1 (Meta) Modules, so they very quickly burn out but still this could quickly become an issue given how common it is to pulse over-heating for quick bursts such-as MWD or Scramblers where you only need them for the initial few second then coast a cycle.
