Yes - but that powers down/reboots only the OMAP system.
And not (yet) the GTM601.

This is what we think we have done better in the GTA04A4 design.
We will know in 3-4 weeks.

Anyways - I did forget to remove the battery yesterday evening
and it did still reboot this morning. With 3-10 mA on a 1200 mAh
battery this means 120-400 hours standby time. Or several days
until the battery is discharged by this bug in the GTA04A3 board.
