Quick follow-up in case someone else encounters this, since there are
known workarounds:

The crash to db before copyright only happens when console is on serial.
The ne32 hang is suspected to happen if your O2 has more than 256 MB
installed. (Unfortunately someone broke the motherboard tray lever
on this O2 and I haven't yet figured out how to disassemble it!)
