Mail me if you want details on it.
Sorry I've taken a while to reply - I've had other things on my plate and not much time for orinoco work. Any details you have would be useful.
In particular any error messages would be handy - since the crash might prevent them getting to syslog, try switching to a text console and running "dmesg -n 8" to request that all messages, including debug level ones go to the console immediately. Then trigger the bug and see if any messages appear on the console.
