XT3: Misterious spontaneous reset

All of a sudden, my trusty XT3 (that has traveled all over the world for years) spontaneously resets to factory settings.

This has happened about 3 times in the last 2 months or so, and I only realize this when I pick it up from my bag and wham, it's asking for date, pairing, etc. Luckily I have a backup of the settings through Xacquire and I can restore everything easily but it's making me nervous if it might happen in the field.

I haven't done anything differently, the battery in the camera is fully charged, and I can't figure out why it does this.

Has anyone seen anything similar and if yes under what circumstances?

Thanks

I.
