Hi guys,
I got my Kindle 3.2.1 last Friday. Since then I've uploaded some 30-something e-books on it. Non of them by amazon, and most were converted from PDF using Caliber. I've also jail-braked it using Yifan Lu's latest.
Since yesterday it keep rebooting every 2-5 minutes or so.

At first I blamed the indexing service (As a friend of mine was upload a 90 Mb .pdf file to my kindle before it started) and turned it off by setting -DENABLE_SEARCH_INDEXING_THREAD to false on /opt/amazon/ebook/bin/start.sh. It seem to help for a minute and then I went to sleep. When I tried using the Kindle again today, I aws able to read 2 pages, then it started rebooting again - And it's rebooting ever since (every 2-5 minutes), even without any user interaction.

At some other point I figured it might be the browser daemon, and also killed /usr/bin/browserd to no avail.

I tried looking at /var/logs/messages, and I always get some "Heap space is very low" messages before it reboots. but I haven't figured out yet what's hogging the heap memory.

I can see by running ps that the process consuming the most memory is /usr/java/bin/cvm (some %20).

[I can't seem to run top by the way, anybody knows way?]

Any hints or suggestions?
