It's a well-known issue with both the Poly-800 and EX-800. Very annoying. It's a major 
reason I was excited about the Hawk-800 mod, in fact. I was never able to use either my P-
800 or EX-800 under sequencer control, because it would periodically crash. Not only that, 
when it did crash, it would overwrite parts of the memory with random data, so I'd end up 
losing all my patches. Happily, after installing the mod, it seems perfectly stable, AND I can 
now tweak parameters from my XStation controller while it plays, which is a bit of a 
revelation!
