This sort of rings a bell. We have a problem on some SPT1500 in which
our software/conduit doesn't work consistently. We don't understand why
but on some machines the conduit won't work properly unless we perform
a cold-boot on the device (even after deleting the app with Menu/Delete).
Someone mentioned to me that they had observed that 64K memory chunks
where being left behind that could only be removed by a cold-reboot but I
almost dismissed it. Your comment above made me wonder if in fact this
could be the cause of our problems?
Any thoughts?
