iPod touch dodgy volume - ipod 2G?

[ZuneMan?]

Sometimes when I push the sleep button the volume would automatically shoot right up. This can be incredibly painful to the ears especially when it does happen..

At other times no matter how hard I try the volume would shoot up even when I have brought it down. It then gets stuck on max. volume with no other choice but to restart the iPod.

Has anyone else had these problems with they're iPod Touch 2G? It all seems to happen so randomly too...

This has happened to me randomly about 5 times before. It gets very annoying! It just keeps going up even if i drag it down. Although, it hasn't happened recently...
