I don't understand how any of this could repeatably cause a shutdown.

I'm also wondering about why the passes would be faster on the Sansa e200.

Here's a test plugin which does the same memory access pattern, but
doesn't do any cache operations. I wonder if the same shutdown happens
with unaltered.mi4 and this plugin:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16662598/Rockbox/pp502x_cache_test/e200_pp502x_cache_notest.zip
If there are any problems then, it's either a bug in the test plugin or
e200 instability under high CPU and/or memory load.

Best regards,

Boris
