Random Kindle Reboots

Hi All,

My K3 wifi has rebooted a few times randomly in the last 2 weeks. The wife's has done it 3 times in the last 5 (so hers isn't an issue). Both are running firmware 3.0.1. I did a ;dumpMessages and looked at the file and notice something rather interesting.

Every so often syslog-ng restarts when the log file exceeds its limit, and upon restart it initialises its configuration

Quote:
101006:112027 syslog-ng[962]: SIGHUP received, restarting syslog-ng
101006:112028 syslog-ng[962]: new configuration initialized
But the times it randomly reboots I see;

Quote:
101006:111503 syslog-ng[962]: SIGHUP received, restarting syslog-ng
101006:111924 `[962]: syslog-ng version 1.6.11 starting
101006:111924 Linux version 2.6.26-rt-lab126 (build@ubuntu-jaunty-build-01) (gcc version 4.1.2) #5 Sun Aug 29 19:01:34 PDT 2010
So it appears to me syslog is unable to re-initialise the configuration. There is nothing being logged just prior to syslog restarting that is consistent with the random reboots.

Is anyone who does experience the odd random reboot able to confirm similar logging on their Kindle? Has anyone found going to the preview 3.0.2 fixed any of this?
