It could help, but I am having doubts that:
-There was any useful information in the log prior to the reboot either.  
-That information was put there by my own code (not system messages). I'm 
guessing system messages are more likely to be helpful. 
-I know what log statements to put in there to make it useful - I'd have to 
have some inkling of what the problem is. That's kind of why I posted this 
thread. Hoping some of you would would have some idea of what *could* cause 
a hard freeze. 
An unhandled exception is unlikely based on the review jason suggested. 
 A respected person has already commented to the effect that my app *can't* 
cause a system freeze without some underlying system issue. Which is of 
little comfort to a user who does experience said freeze. 

But it might help.

Yes, it might.  But your app will be probably blamed anyway. It's perfectly 
possible for a device to have an issue that a particular user can only 
reproduce in your app.

I have no evidence it does or does not relate to key combinations. I can't 
reproduce it, after all. Any suggestion is helpful at this point.  The HTC 
Droid Incredible "reboot if you update a notification" didn't ever make 
sense and still doesn't.

Admire the optimism, though not sure about the "just" part.
