I have had to pop the battery...

/usr/bin/btcond -l : 1 *

Nokia-N800-50-2:/proc# cat bootreason
pwr_key

I installed the update, started mapper, It started, began searching for the gps and showed my last location. I hit the menu key and the box displayed the nokia screen one gets when booting - it did not reboot though and none of the buttons would respond. After about 5 minutes I popped the battery.
Check the last-modified time of lifeguard_resets - was it around the time that the crash occurred? If so, then it sounds like the btcond program (which interacts with the bluetooth radio) crashed, likely as a result of Maemo Mapper searching for your GPS receiver.

Hopefully, it was just a one-time thing. If not, it could be a hardware problem like a memory RAM chip. Keep an eye out, though, especially if your unit is still under warranty.
