BTW, one more thought. The 1.2.1 BBB release also includes some code to 
activate a Hardware Watchdog. This is not activated by default, but, 
might help. The watchdog resets the BBB, if a lockup is detected.

To activate the watchdog, uncomment a line near the top of the
/etc/rc.local file. There is a comment in the rc.local file, too. After
un-commenting, a reboot will be required (or you can start the watchdog
code from the command prompt, etc.).
