I've seen recently a few occasions where a node will reboot frequently, 
though the intervals vary; sometimes hours between reboots and sometimes 
minutes.  The ETX metric and beacon strength to the gateway from the node 
in question looks like a solid link, and there is typically a fair amount 
of traffic on the wireless network at the time... I have some cron jobs 
fetching files on a few nodes, including the rebooting one.

Once the node has rebooted, the evidence for what happened is gone, but I 
have seen an hslsd segfault before, in dmesg output and /var/core/hslsd.* 
files.  Is this symptomatic of the bugs you've found?

I could tweak hellowdog to scp over some information before rebooting 
(core files, dmesg output, etc); I guess you'd need the unstripped 
binaries too.  Let me know if this would be useful.
