I think we've probably seen this. In the pits, we often have the driver station connected to the robot, with a LabVIEW dashboard using SmartDashboard/NetworkTables. When there is a programming change, the programmers plug in a second computer and run SmartDashboard. As we heavily use the preferences class and other uploaded files, we aren't often rebooting the robot. Sometimes when we disconnect the programming computer ethernet cable, we see a hang in NetworkTables on the driver station.

We use Java on the robot, but I assume the implementation is similar to C++.
