Thank you Mike,

That's pretty much what happened to me, except the part about switching 
off the power without stopping the recording. My first "freeze-up" 
happened when coming out of USB mode. The second happened when shutting 
down after about three hours monitoring in record standby. Both 
occurred after the unit had been powered up for a long time. The second 
time, I noticed that the bottom of the recorder felt warm -- just a 
chance observation with perhaps a correlation... perhaps not.

No lost data yet, so I'll keep at it and report back if a pattern 
develops.
