Hi Diane,
The issue I'm talking about was already logged as issue 5009
<http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5009>.
Logcat does indeed show a useful stacktrace, however I had a very hard
time cross-referencing the stack trace line numbers with the actual
source code. The phone I was testing on was running an eclair build at
the time, so I checked all the eclair revisions but no matter which
revision I looked at, the numbers never seemed to match up. Is there any
way to easily determine which revision of the source code is being used
by a build on a specific device?

Please file bug reports for any such crashes.
Note the output of logcat is extremely useful -- in most cases, if the
system crashes, it is due to a Java crash, which will be printed to
the log prior to it rebooting. This may help you understand what is
going on; it is *extremely* helpful in a bug you file since the
engineer can very likely tell what the problem is and how to fix it
from the log.

Any suggestion as to why a phone may reboot are highly welcome.
I've only been able to make phones reboot by triggering a
crash/exception in a system process. This is standard Android
behavior as far as I can tell.
This happened to me when I was implementing a SyncAdapter. I had
implemented the account part, but not yet the sync adapter.
Creating an account would cause a NPE in the sync process which
instantly rebooted the phone. This was a real PITA to debug as the
phone would reset itself before I even had a chance to capture any
debug information.
Best of luck hunting down this one.
Regards,
Pepijn
