[Ti] system instability [add: with VPC7?]

[silvo conticello]

Here I am again....
The cron task wasn't the culprit...

Applications have started crashing again (first time after 3 weeks).

These are the symptoms:

It has happened in conjunction with a change in the location (and this 
correlation is something that probably happened also the other times: 
the system instability has always happened at home, at night)

Has anybody ever experienced (this kind of) problems changing locations?

Thanks,
Silvo
