I saw it last night for the first time on 160m and I was running the
amp.  I saw this happen for more than a "few seconds" and at several
random intervals.

I currently have firmware 1.29 installed and I could put 1.09 back into
it.  I don't recall seeing this happen with 1.09 or, at least, the
recovery of the P3 was much faster.

I have a plain P3 with no SVGA board installed.
