Is that a thing of the past? Are the new cams designed different so that doesn't happen?

Pictures?

They are much harder to lock up. I wouldn't use the word impossible. If both draw stops on the mods hit the cables at the same time it certainly makes it harder along with the adjustable draw stop on the limb. If that should slip you can have problems. You can also have problems if the drawstop on the bottom cam hits the cable way before the draw stop on the top one. When you put enough pressure on that draw stop the cable can jump off to the side causing lockup.

I thought there was only a draw stop on one of the cams.?????

There are drawstops which are an intergral part of each module. These drawstops hit the cables. The other moveable drawstop strikes the limb. This drawstop creats the firm backwall that these bows exhibit. There is another post here which is a warning post regarding this adjustable drawstop and many good points are made in that thread.
