My OS-9 Level Two Gimix system reboots sometimes too.  It is always a symptom
of a program running wild.

The Level Two Chieftain I use at work displays the very same symptoms.  Watch
out for wild pointers.  If I were so lucky as to have one of the really neat
Gimix machines, the memory management hardware would catch me trying to fall
off the edge of the world or step on someone else's memory and blow my process
away.
