Ok, that might clear it up a bit. Thanks.

That was our initial plan and it would be the easiest to do. But since 
it looks like nobody experienced this problem so far, we are somehow 
reluctant to set it by default. What if someone is relying on this 
feature to reset the device if the device is not waken up from "freeze" 
by some other interrupt source?
