This has been confirmed to have happened at least once by 2 people on 3 different DS's so far.

My game froze while playing Metal Slug advance. This happened on Level 1 after the first "GO->" screen, when you get to the mountain and have to jump up it. At around the same place evertime my DS froze, and I was able to reproduce this 3 times in succession. I tried this on my GBA and it was fine.
Since this is at such an early part of the game, and takes about 70 seconds to reproduce, would you mind helping me out? Try playing this, and see if you beat the first level (or hell, get past the second "screen" when you're jumping up the mountain). If this crashes on your DS as well as mine, then we have an interesting situation...
EDIT: Bug completely isolated. Check below for the post about "shimmying"
--Videos of Freeze--
You need the latest version of DivX to view these videos
Full test on 2 DS's, with different characters, on 2 different screens, one freezing with the B button the other with the R button. Then a test on a GBA in which it works fine (the shimmy will NOT occur)
A clip from the original video showing the Freeze on the bottom screen, using the guy, pressing B. You can clearly see it freeze exactly when I press B.
A clip from the original video showing the Freeze on the top screen, using the girl, pressing R. This clip better illustrates what the "Shimmy" looks like.
Apologies for the crappyness of the GBA shots, but that bastard is just so hard to light properly. Once again, the "shimmy" is achieved by depressing the entire Dpad in (pressing the center), which is fairly easy to do on both of the DS's you see. Can anybody else duplicate it?
