FWIW, I've had sudden reboots on my PW lately, too. But I blame that on the indexer being a catastrophic mess - I'm still on an ancient firmware version and the device hasn't had Wifi on for a long time and was generally off the USB line when the reboots happened. Plus, they only occured after sideloading my latest batch of literature. That's pretty obvious in my eyes.
An error in the cache handling sounds like a good guess.

This was (and is) v-5.3.3 - - Same as the original trouble report here.

(oh, what I would give for enough hobby time to do more than just write about porting Tizen to the Kindles! Even if they did end up looking like a Samsung device.)
