OK; I wasn't able to open up theplayer last night (I got home way too late), but I did borrow a laptop and connected to the player through it. I've (hopefully) attached a text file with the hyperterminal messages.

Is it supposed to be so different from what I see when connecting when it's not in the car ?

Also, the message at the end ("VM: do_try_to_free_pages failed for kswapd...") would come up with every skip.
