Greg and radish,
Any luck getting a new log with the debug output patch? If so, please attach to http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1289.
Thanks, --Vidur

The behavior you describe is consistent with my speculation of what might be happening. When SlimServer completes streaming a track to the SB2, it should close the streaming socket for that track. This is an indication that there is no more data for that stream (the data itself does not contain an end-of-stream marker). If, and only if, the streaming socket has been closed, the device sends a decoder underrun message when it finishes decoding the audio - this can be several seconds to minutes after the socket has been closed, depending on how much audio fits into the SB2's input audio buffer. The decoder underrun message is an indicator to SlimServer that it should start streaming the next track.
I'm speculating that the server isn't closing the streaming socket for some reason, resulting in a severely delayed decoder underrun message. The patch with the debug output hopefully will help me figure out why.

Thanks for looking into this Vidur. I'll have a go at applying the patch and running another test tonight if I get time.
To answer a couple of your points:
These players were synched once, when I first got the SB2 maybe a couple of weeks ago. It didn't work quite how I liked (when synched the players introduced short gaps between tracks which weren't there if not synched) so I disabled it after like 20 mins. The server has been upgraded at least twice and bounced many times since then.
To clarify a little about what happens when the SB2 stalls - as it's approaching the end of the track everything is normal. Then, roughly 7 or 8 seconds before the end, the display locks up but the music still plays to the end of the track. The display remains stuck until it wakes back up again when the SB1 changes track. If I use the remote while it's locked I can skip to the next track manually and it works fine. But it will lock up again at the next transition.
The network is wireless, but with good signal strength and the bitrate is ~1mbps (FLAC).
I should also point out that the SB1 playback never has any problems, and if the SB1 isn't playing, neither does the SB2. This only occurs when both players are playing at once.
