I'd guess that if the Dialog gets so hot you can smell it, as f1eng mentioned, that's enough to explain its instability (irrespective of any possible software issues) - the hardware will be outside its operating temperature range.  It still beats me why it should be dissipating so much power just to manage audio streams over one or two network interfaces, though, and that probably is a software problem...
