Well, 1.3 should be right around the corner so try with that....
I've only barely gotten my kernels up to around .4 seconds but I'm not having any issues like that.... Save for an accidental infinite loop will crash the program, and occasionally will cause my system to hang.
However I would think if this was some sort of VPU recovery mechanism, that it would do something more (IE reboot/shutdown the comp or the module).
At any rate, when I get back from work maybe I'll check out your program and see if I can reproduce the error with my flavor of stuff...
