There's probably a difference between "Haven't noticed any" and "this is perfectly
100% safe to do". My guess is that you're riding the edge, and OS 3.5 uses
a little more RAM than OS 3.3/3.1 did. I know there's a known issue with
some sort of log growing 1-2K with each reset. You'll have to search the
archives to find it.
