Yep, that's the one. It's annoying. The second reboot is very fast, so I don't know what the deal is with the fist one.

I have downgraded to .161.

The battery life was bad with 214, and it lost it's ability to automatically shut the backlight off (after a night in bedside mode).

I'm a QA guy, so I understand all about tradeoffs. At least it'll pass the battery life test!
