I perform the checks run this firmware more than 100 times.
I think the problem with the power supply or reset the new ESP-03 module. However, the firmware NodeMcu 0.9.4 build 20141222 and NodeMCU 0.9.5 build 20150107 operate without this problem.

Looks like a clean boot, doesn't it?
When my fails to boot, it just spills out a few random characters. As others noted, it is actually not a restart problem, but rather a cold boot problem. node.restart() seems to work all the time.

Yes, this is when the unit is powered.
Is this ...

...four attempts to power up.
node.restart () is always executed correctly.
