I've had some Squeezebox reboots when listening to Internet Radio, too.
I think it's only been since upgrading from 6.3.x to 6.5.1, but I
haven't kept track very well.

mflint -- I think this is different. In my case, for instance, my SB2
crashed/rebooted the other day (on FolkAlley.com) but I believe
Slimserver kept running & properly updating the When Off screensaver on
the SB3 in the next room. I certainly didn't have to restart
Slimserver.

I suspect it's a SB/firmware problem -- don't SB2/SB3 devices connect
"directly" to HTTP streaming stations? I've suspected it's a bug in the
TCP stack of the SB. Would installing something like Squid on my
Slimserver and configuring Slimserver with that as a "proxy" force my
SB to fetch streams through the Slimserver host? It'd be a (relatively)
huge waste of bandwidth (especially in my case, as my Slimserver host
hangs off a WiFi bridge), but I have more confidence in my local
network's packets, and my Slimserver host's ability to deal with
Internet flakiness.

Slim folks -- do you "torture test" the firmware networking to make
sure glitches can't adversely affect our players?

P.S. A little off-topic, but what's the URL for Batteries & Beer? I've
been a little down since TwangCity's latest outage has stretched on
longer than expected...

P.P.S. My SB2 has crashed on at least one stream other than FolkAlley.
It might've been Twang City, but I really don't recall.
