This seems to be a second major long standing Amiga problem that I am only
coming to grips with now and that most of you reading this have simply learned
to accept - hmmm... is that the answer?

After umpteen "dir"s or disk accesses the prompt disappears and the Amiga is
HUNG.  No Guru, no nothing.  You can move the cursor around and the mouse. 
You can go to other windows but I haven't tried opening another CLI to see for
sure if they have an active prompt.  Besides, usually I want to do what I was
doing when the machine hung.

And again through third parties it slowely unfolds that AmigaDOS is the
culprit for this problem.  But I have had my eyes closed and my ears full of
ear wax again I guess.  I have never read much on this.  Is there a better fix
in the works then the warm boot which works just fine for umteen more disk
accesses?
