Default random droid rebooting linked to the gallery app?

This is my second droid. The first one had the same problem. Itkeeps randomly rebooting. It was great for weeks.. then "poof" it happened. and it might happen 3 times in one day.. or no trouble for a week....

Recently I noticed that I THINK most (not sure about all, but definitely most) of the reboots this month have come AFTER I used to the gallery app to look at a picture. I don't have any definitive observations, but I'm strongly suspecting a connection. Does anyone else have something to add to this line of thinking?

EDIT - updated info below:

The most likely scenario is that something I can't fathom is causing the gallery app to not play nice when combined with a 3rd party app that is already running in the background. I have listed All the 3rd party apps I have running in the background at bootup (I've had mine reboot immediately after bootup and gallery use)

lets play a game called "whats running" (according to a taskiller application that I DO NOT have running in the background, only when used). I left out the stock apps.

  • screebl lite
  • shopsavvy
  • voice recorder (home screen widget)
  • weather forcast widgets v2 (widget from the maker of pure calendar)
  • remember the milk (home screen widget)
  • vizBattery (home screen widget)
  • handcent sms [unlikely culprit, had problems before I got this app)
  • google voice

Maybe if a few other people chime in we can narrow it down to a common culprit....
