I'm seeing a problem with 3.8.1 on an RPi running Rasbian. Twice in the last 24 hours cgminer has stopped running. It appears as if the "q" key was pressed even though I'm sure it was not. This hardware has run solid for weeks before I upgraded to 3.8.1.
I haven't had any problems with raspbian and 3.8.1 on my end so far. I've got four instances of cgminer up on the same Rpi with each built for different hardware. After I did an update & upgrade last week my Rpi started crashing when ever I tried mining on it. The fix was to turn on some kind of memory debugging feature.

Hmmm... Thanks for the info. I did to this and perhaps that's the culprit?
sudo apt-get update
What is the "memory debugging feature" that you turned on?
Here is a link to instructions. Scroll down to the section that says Rpi freezing up.
