Well, it is happening again, now under firmware version 3.2. My program occasionally locks up, requiring a paper clip RESET. This only happens with my code, and not the variant by grsbanks. So, unless other users report further problems, it is probably not worth Michael’s or David’s time to try and figure out the root cause.

Try with V3.3 -- there were some improvements in that area. It's always hard to eradicate problems like this when you can't reproduce them yourself and you just add stuff that "should" fix it.

The fact of the matter is that user code simply shouldn't make the machine hang regardless of who wrote it.
There are only 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who do not.
