FCDEV3B hardware bug: sleep mode self-reboot

By the way, I've noticed something interesting:  if I wait until AT+CFUN=1
receives ATI: OK, and then issue AT%SLEEP=0 then AT+COPS=0, it appears the
board can successfully register without rebooting. If I'm not wrong, after
AT+CFUN=1 the board starts talking to the (U)SIM card, which could perhaps
be a culprit for the observed behaviour wrt/ sleeping.
