unusual reboot problem in TivoHD

I have a TivoHD, originally 20 hour but long since upgraded. I had to replace the drive almost exactly a year ago. Just in the last few days, a strange problem has surfaced. When I get near the end of a recorded program and hit the left arrow (left side of the circle on a peanut remote) to go back and use "Delete program", the box reboots. This seems to be consistently repeatable and only seems to happen when I use the left arrow at the END of a program. if I do it in the middle, I get back to the Program menu option where I can resume playing or delete now. I just also confirmed that if I let the program end on its own, the box reboots instead of giving the "delete now" menu. This is REALLY weird!

I don't think I have any other indications typical of a failing hard drive. On rare occasions I'll get some pixellation of a recorded program but I generally chalk that up to the cable card or crap signal. The current drive is a WD-AV 1TB drive. IIRC, I loaded a recent "cake" image when I installed it a year ago. I've had no problems until now. I also have noted a thread on the Roamio forum regarding spontaneous reboots tied to a service update.
I would be quite surprised if Tivo released an update for an older box like mine, but I suppose anything is possible. Suggestions?
