Default PowerFLARM choking on too many targets?

I haven't done detailed testing, but FWIW I have seen a similar issue with my FlarmView57 on the latest firmware. I don't believe it's the PF rebooting because when the display comes back it hasn't lost GPS lock or anything..

Yes I agree its not the Flarm rebooting.
We figured that out quickly as we had Flarm connecting to other displays and they did not have issue.
In my case I have Flarmview connected directly to the RJ45 on Flarm and then the Flarm DB9 to S7 which outputs to Soartronic Uart to Dell Streak running XC Soar.
You could see in XC Soar that the Flarm was Solid, (not rebooting).
We tried reloading the latest firmware with same result so In my case I tried the old one from January and it worked fine the rest of the Camp. We found that we could not get the Old Firmware to work on a brand New Flarmview for some reason.
What was unnerving at first was we were Gridded and 3 gliders in a row had their Flarmviews going crazy, Beeping and rebooting. At first we calmed them down by turning off the Beep on Target and then later it became apparent that in Flight they were working fine.
I sent a Video with issue to LX as did a few others.
As some have indicated theirs worked fine so it is a Random issue.
Uros had me send him all the Files on my Flarmview SD card.
Mine is working fine with older Firmware so I am ok.
