Found a pretty big bug in the new Firmware/UI
Very easy to reproduce. 1) Enter a channel (any channel...say Netflix) 2) Using the External Control Point API, issue a command to take the user to the Channel Store, to a specific channel ...

In other words, just doing this ncat command from an external device crashes the box (as long as it is in a channel when the command is sent, and not sitting at the home screen). The IP of the Roku box is 192.168.0.29 in this case:
# The following is an example command sent via the ncat command. It will launch the channel store app (11) on the box with a contentID equal to 2285 (the Hulu Plus app).
% echo -e 'POST /launch/11?contentID=2285 HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n' | ncat 192.168.0.29 8060
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

BOOM, CRASH, REBOOT!!!!
REALLY FRUSTRATING
