Spider Jam Resets When Using FBV Express Wah Pedal

I thought this problem was solved, but it's not.  When I'm playing along to a recording, my Spider Jam resets randomly.  When I say reset, it's like it was powered off and then back on for everything except the power.  The music stops, the LCD goes through its startup process, and then the amp comes back to life, but any unsaved recordings are gone, and the settings are where they would be if I did do a power cycle.

 

This only has happened since I got my FBV Express pedal, and it only has happened when using the wah pedal.  I tried playing for a while using the volume pedal the same way I use the wah, and it seemed fine with no resets.  This has happened with three different CAT 5 cables, including the one from Line 6.

 

I plugged the amp directly into the wall, but it still resets.  I've been working around the problem by switching off wah after a few minutes.  Only seems to reset after about 5 minutes of continuous wah pedal use.  Switching the wah off and then back on again seems to buy me another 5 minutes.

 

I have the latest Spider Jam firmware.  The pedal is a couple of days out of the box, and if I can't fix it, it's going back to the dealer.  Or maybe it's a problem with the amp.  If anyone has some ideas, I'd love to hear them.  Thanks.
