Thanks to those who wrote about this - the long delay for the summary is
due to making sure the problem was really fixed.
It was software: upgrading to 4.0G from 4.0E fixed it.

Is the following usually a software or hardware problem or could be
either? The crashes started appearing weeks after adding a 2nd
