Several users on the InternetTabletTalk forums (including me) have run into the
infinite reboot loop on the n800 after installing VideoCenter and rebooting
their device. Four users, including myself have experienced this after
installing videocenter. For me, I had been running with the latest release (the
one just before the last SDHC fix) for some time, then installed videocenter
and the device started really slowing down. Then after a few days of being
really slow, it wouldn't boot up. It just sat at the 'Nokia' screen, and would
flash black every few minutes, and come back to the 'Nokia' screen. I had to
flash the device to get it back to normal. This happened a second time, again
just after I installed videocenter. 

I realize that videocenter is not Nokia's application, but at the same time, it
is bricking people's devices, and something on the OS side must prevent this
sort of thing from happening. A userspace program should not be able to do
this.
