Unit freezes or shuts off while recording points

Has anyone experienced the LS freezing (screen goes blank and the battery lights flash) while recording a point? This has occurred on a few occasions now both with CORS and UHF setups. I've had to reset the unit by holding down the power button for 10 seconds. Once I reset the unit, everything seems to work just fine.

I've not seen it, but if you see it more than once, I'd probably do a forced update of the software. Go to updates, App Settings and set all versions to force, then update.

FYI
I have experienced a freeze twice in the last week. At the moment of recording the data, the unit froze completely.
even the audible sound gets chopped off halfway.
Screen freezes and did not go blank and battery lights do not flash.
Had to power down to get control back.
All software is updated to the latest versions and this did happen in previous versions.
don't know if this matters, had measurements set at 10 epochs and 10 consistency level.
changed epochs to 11 after it appeared to freeze when epochs and consistency were reached at the exact same time.(10)

I have checked some dumps and they are very similar to one which Matt has. The bug was fixed in the development version. This week we will build a new public version with only bug fixing.

I noticed the same thing. Twice last week.

Both times while using Precise Topographic Settings with UHF
 Start with Start Button or Start When Tilted
 Stop After: 10 epochs
 Verify without V6 Reset
 Consistency Counter: 10
 Correct for Tilts: On

This all happened after I updated 1-2 weeks ago (currently completing another update).

I also noticed that the engines would reset, sometimes several times per point. It also "seemed" like the number of fixed engines would rapidly change. For example my position might change from 3-6 fixed engines with a float in between over the course of 10 seconds. The system would settle down, start recording data and then rapidly change the number of fixed engines again. Many times within in this process the system would reset.

I recently had the LS screen go black (or blank, like windows screen saver) and no way to recover the view. It was while waiting for a long shot to collect in a canopy situation and once blank touching the screen resulted in sounds but the view did not return. I had to reboot to recover.

Has anyone else had this happen since the last update?

Did you have any camera views like the level vial view on at the time. The camera will cause the Windows version to crash periodically just as you describe. Linux appears to have resolved this issue though.

No camera views. I may have puased the shoot to attach a photo......it has happened 3 times and I dont think I did this on all 3.

It's in testing now and very close to release. I don't want to leave the impression that nothing is being done about the camera issue.
