I'm not actually using MTP to transfer files.  I've been pushing 
them to the device with adb instead.  The files were on the 
device, but you're right, I mixed up MTP server and mediascanner.  
It looks like both crashed, but mediascanner's crash file is 
dated after I noticed the issues.  It's possible that it could 
have crashed more than once and I only see the latest dump.

Yes, it all worked on second boot.

The number and frequency of crashes has me a bit concerned.  I 
ended up with ten crash files in under an hour of use.
