So I'm taking pictures at a show, and the *istDS locks up.
Out of nowhere, it sets itself in "bulb" mode, won't let me trip the shutter, won't let me do anything.
Turn the camera off, turn it on, it pops the flash, the back displays VERSION 1.0 and goes black, and same story.
Annoyed now, remove and replace the batteries. No change. Remove and replace SD card. Remove and replace batteries again...and everything is back to normal.
My batteries were close to being totally discharged, though. (they were fully depleted by the end of the night)

Luigi,
I have had similar episodes with my *istD. I have had it go into "bulb" mode; the shutter has locked, etc. Putting fresh batteries in solved the problem each time. I guess, that is just the kind of behavior you get when you have marginal (or less) power.
