Not sure if this is related, but just updated my XO to joyride-2444  
and used the Control Panel to download Help-3. There was also a new  
version of Etoys-93 that updated fine, but Sugar reset/rebooted its  
self on 3 separate attempts while trying to install Help.

4th time worked with no crash and on a cursory look Help seems to have  
arrived in working order (if needing some CSS love to make it more  
Sugarised).

At the time as sugar was resetting/rebooting I had two remote ssh  
sessions open, one was running top (system was clearly busy as  
expected), the other was running a rolling track of memory usage (free  
-s 3), but showed no obvious memory spikes just prior to the crashes  
(120Mb+ free) – suggesting the software updater related crashes may be  
nothing to do with OOM conditions...

Plenty of free nand space also (df -h):

P.S. Email if you want to see a specific log from somewhere,  
my .xsession happened to have a bunch of stuff enabled at the time due  
to other tickets I've been tracking.
