Hello,

It seems that it happens when the backlight is on.

Backlight on means the SQWE flag (square wave enable bit) is 1, and in
this case it hangs in most cases.

Could this be a general problem? I think it could also lead to hang ups
if power_off is called in powermgmt.c because of the auto-shutoff
feature and the backlight is on! (It only hasn't happened in the past
because the user has usually (backlight timeout) < (shutoff time) ).

Suggestion: power_off should turn the backlight off by clearing the sqwe
bit in the rtc.

Bye, Uwe.
