Sorry to disagree with you, Bdale, but I feel like a "veteran" of this
"reboot at apogee" thing, having first debugged it on a TeleMetrum v1.1
back in 2011 (Wow, 9 years!), and on an EasyMini more recently.

I think in my case, it all dates back to an ancient box of J-Tek e-matches
I've been gradually burning through. After a drogue-only landing, I burned
a handful of these in bench tests and saw my TeleMetrum reset a couple of
times, so then I started testing with dead-short wires. That makes it
happen pretty regularly. I know part of the problem dates back to those
early LiPo cells with current limiters, but I've "fixed" all my cells and
can still repro.

As for solutions, I now either use a separate pyro cell or, if I can't fit
one, use different e-matches.
