Re. #179 (Los Angeles 2014). I would like to try to read the full report if available somewhere?

This in particular:
... exceeded the amount of memory allotted to handling the flight’s data, which in turn resulted in system errors and restarts ...

OK, no good protection against excessive memory usage, resulting in system restarts ... But what seems even worse, is the part about "system restartS" (more than once). It suggests that it can be acceptable to have multiple restarts in a row, before some other action is taken (such as identifying which data input is causing a problem). This, in turn, makes me wonder how many such self-restarts occur on a regular basis ... these would normally be analyzed and their cause addressed, even in absence of a visible incident?
