My Piano just crashed!

I've been a proud owner of the Clavinova CLP-170 Digital Piano from Yamaha for over a year. I've been very happy with the instrument: the sound is extremely realistic, in fact I think it is much better than a low-end acoustic piano I would otherwise be able to afford. Now when I'm tired of dealing with computers and bugs and code I can sit and play some jazz. One of the nice things about this piano is that it has the middle sostenuto pedal which you usually find only in real Steinway-ish concert pianos. So I was experimenting with the sostenuto pedal in that I played a chord, and then improvised some music while keeping the pedal depressed. Like on a real piano, the Clavinova simulated the effect of dampers belonging to this particular chord's strings kept raised. So if I played the chromatic scale while keeping the pedal depressed I could hear how the notes from my chord were sustained while other notes were not. So, I was playing and playing, happy to be far from software and bugs until... my Piano hung!. It stop playing completely and the display showed,oh my God,

Isn't that great! I even know in which file the error occured so I can fix it. Thank you very much for helping me forget programming and bugs.
