I only have 1 phone so it is hard to tell if the crashing is a
hardware or software problem.  I never noticed the phone having
problems previous to this.  I did resync asterisk to HEAD a month ago.
Thats also about the time the phone started crashing (or at least I
started noticing it).  Come to think of it, I've been running the
current firmware in the phone since July 20th.  The only think that
changed in recently was asterisk.  I wonder if there is something the
newer asterisk is doing that the phone really hates...

Yea, this phone has that problem too.  ;-) Some cables just don't
work.
