Ok, yes I also suspect the os rather than pd…
Its unfortunately difficult to debug, since during development I did not have 
the problem, 
and now that the raspi and teensy are packed in a box …
The classic Heisenbug, or even Mandelbug situation:-)
I will try to come up with the “script to check if device is here, otherwise 
restart” idea…if someone could point me to a starting point I’d appreciate it. 
I’m not very steeped linux scripts….
