I have no memory of any calls coinciding. And yesterdays was a clean boot in the morning, with no calls up until the problem ~an hour later. Thats not to say a call came in and didnt register - but I have had none asking why I didnt call back :) Every case though was during gps use: openmoko-agps was run first until lock was obtained, then tango-gps. In only the last case though, did I notice the FR being warm/hot to touch. Otherwise it was the battery being drained at an unusually fast rate - stood out when I checked the battery charge level after restarting (I have a fair idea where the battery is at at most times.) Not really scientific or smoking gun stuff I'm afraid.
