Journal Journal: Rebooting a Space Suite?

On the latest International Space Station Status Report of January 15, 2003 They wrote the following.

After encountering some difficulty opening the airlock hatch due to a strap on the inside of the thermal hatch cover, the hatch finally swung open and Bowersox and Pettit began their spacewalk at 6:50 a.m. Central time by placing their suits on internal battery power. As he did, Bowersox reported a loss of digital data for his suit systems, requiring him to recycle his suit power that cleared up the momentary glitch. Once outside, Bowersox and Pettit quickly set up tools and gear, then moved to the recently installed Port One (P1) Truss segment, where they released ten remaining launch restraints from the truss' radiator system. Eight others had been released when the truss was delivered to the ISS last November on the STS-113 mission.

Let's see, a problem with a digial system, and required him to "recycle his suit power", it sounds like he rebooted his space suit to me.
