B737 hyd pump cavitation

700 series. I've come across some instances of elec pump o'heat and/or eng pump low press during cruise. (High level, long sector, cold soak)

Apparently this is caused by blocking of the hyd reservoir pressurisation by ice resulting in pump cavitation.

Has anybody else any experience of this problem, and can they throw any further light on the subject?
