Viggen brakes

Hi all,
I did the front brakes on a friend Viggen a year or so back and the brake master failed immediately.
Time to do the rears and he's a bit freaked out.
Any idea how that could of happened?
I disconnected the batter, hit the brakes a bunch to get rid of the pressure, opened up the bleeder and took the cap off the res.
Pushed the piston back and closed the bleeder when the piston was back. Put it all back together.
Ran a qt of brake fluid through the system w/ a pressure bleeder. I only went up to 7-9psi on the bleeder.
Coincidence, gremlin or stupidity?
thanks - carl
