It has happened months ago too but i cannot quantify it, i did not get annoyed as much (maybe because i did not use Dev.Installer often). Since i reproduced it with the SourceForge example, perhaps you can replay it? Telnet 8080 is also alive, this coma is amazing:

That's weird. You appear to have two RoGraphics instances, and the width and height of the image in memory doesn't match what's in the SimpleAnimatedSprite.zip (1200x300). Is that the output you're seeing when you run the unmodified SDK example you linked earlier? This is the output I get:

Well perhaps this is because your player is not wedged. Did you try it on 3xxx player?
Yes, what i pasted was from the textbook example.
But wait, there is development: i left the player alone for a while and when i returned, it was running the screen saver! So it's in a very precarious condition. But no, it did not start responding to physical or virtual remote any better, nor telnet 8085 (telnet works in the sense it shows me the last screen but ^C is no go).

Here are 2 r2d2_bitmaps - 1st when SimpleAnimatedSprite is deployed (looks like yours) and 2nd after it was re-deployed and comatosed the box:

Ah ha! It only happens if you install the new version while the channel is still running. If you exit it first, then no hang, no second RoGraphics instance.

My build script sends two Home key presses via ECP (one to exit screensaver, a second to exit running channel) before installing, so that could be why I've not run across this before.

BTW, you can force the box to reboot with the remote when this happens by using the core dump "Konami" code: Home x 5, Up, Rew x 2, FF x 2
