  Found this in the JPL Rover Web Site.

Spirit's flight software is not functioning normally. It appears to have 
rebooted the rover's computer more than 60 times in the past three days. 
A motor that moves a mirror for the rover's infrared spectrometer was 
partway through an operation when the problem arose, so the possibility 
of a mechanical problem with that hardware will be one theory investigated.
