Yes, could be. Solution can be quite difficult I guess.

I tried today to kill ts7500ctl deamon, and send to watchdog value 3 (according 
wiki, to switch off FPGA watchdog). It works. No restarting. But...instead of 
restarting, system hangs completely. Then it needs to be restarted manually. 
Watchdog was doing good job before I switched him off.

I am using set of python threaded scripts to control DIOs as well as connected 
USB devices. Most probably it happens during sending control commands 
setdio/getdio. I am using self compiled C library imported in to python. But it 
hangs when I was communicating through sockets with dioctl as well. And couple 
of times it happens also by setting/getting DIOs from command line.

Could it be caused by processor overheating? I do not have way to measure 
processor package surface temperature currently, but it's in normal room 
temperature, uncovered.

Thanks for any hints. Vladimir.
