I'm wondering if this is somehow related to differing CF cards.     
I've been running WRAP boards
enclosed in a 85F ambient environment for weeks now with 1.2b6 on them 
with nary a freeze or hang.

One of the early things I plan to make run is the watchdog.  (At least, 
I haven't seen any evidence of it being
enabled.)
