The RF pin problem occurred with the first 8Uxx production runs. The
later runs and the new 8UxxS have incorporated a fix that includes epoxy
reinforcement of the pin to circuit board connection. If you are using an
older 8U that has not had this fixed you should do it now before it starts
causing crashes.
