Yes, for those crashes I have two specialty programs on the SD card. The first wipes out everything (clears ports 0-2 then does a cold start), the second loads my standard port contents, sets up main memory, then does a warmstart. I don't use those very often, but it's nice to know they're available when needed. Makes experimentation a much more comfortable experience, since I know I can easily get back to a stable configuration with little effort.

Nowadays I find that most of my 50g coding is done on a laptop with the emulator, so recovery is usually a simple matter of closing the emulator and reopening it. Port contents can still be screwed up on the emulator, but the same programs mentioned above work on the emulator if needed. My (real) 50g comes out mostly when I have to time something or try things that depend on the ARM environment.
