This crash came out of the blue when the system was updating a logfile with a message. It has performed many writes during this time and I have never seen this problem before. As far as trying to reproduce the problem is concerned. Some time ago I used a program to exercise the flash to try and track other problems and as I said before I have never seen this oops before. Besides performing more flash exercising tests I would not have a clue how I could reproduce this. So in summary this crash was out of the blue and I suspect that I can not easily reproduce it without understanding more about what happened. Cheers Simon.
