This is a raspberry-pi 1 B, with basically no load on it.  I find it difficult 
to believe that if this was the case, the problem wouldn't have been detected 
by whoever ported the os to the device.  Or another ordinary user later.  You'd 
want to spend at least a little bit of time, probably a lot, checking that 
everything worked as expected.

I can do this monitoring, but I'll have to figure out how to first.  Keep in 
mind that I've been using the device regularly since then, and the problem 
hasn't re-appeared, so I wouldn't get your hopes up.
