Has anyone else experienced this problem? Does anyone know if this is
a known bug that Midway is/is not aware of? Some guidance would be
appreciated.

Greetings!
Regrettably, you are correct, there is a problem in some cartridges that
is causing a freeze-up like you're describing.
The three pieces of advice I can offer are:
1) If any one player has maxxed out his/her inventory, this problem is
more likely to happen. Therefore, try and have a "free slot" available
(for example, always use up one of the power-ups you can collect).
2) There is a possibility that the person using the 4th controller slot
is causing the problem. When a person in slot4 destroys a potion
on-screen it can lead to problems under specific circumstances. In
other words, if you open a barrel and there is a potion if player4
shoots or turbo-attacks the potion (instead of picking it up) there
could be problems.
3) In certain situations, enemy archers and bombers can throw their
projectiles "off" the edge of the world. This can lead to a freeze-up no
matter how many players are playing -- but it's most likely in 3 or 4
player because there are more archers/bombers. Try and kill these guys
ASAP -- even before they're on-screen if possible.
We apologize for any problems you have with our product and rest assured
we're attempting to correct the problem for any future manufacturing of
N64 cartridges. Thanks for the details on the problem and if I have any
better "work-arounds" to avoid these problems I'll let you know! :)

<< I experience the same problem, it happens more when there are four people
playing and lots of sound effects. I have gotten a message says just Fatel
Error once. These companies are tring to pump out the games so fast that
they aren't spending decent time to debug them. I rented Turok 2 and I
wasn't even able to beat the first mission without it locking up. Turok
Rage Wars has a bug in it where you cant complet the 2 player trial mode
successfully. I hope they get all the bugs out of Perfect Dark. >>
And now 'due to a production problem' you can't get 100% on Grand Turismo 2.
