So here is the story,
I've updated the PS3 the very 1st day that 3.56 was released.
All this time the only game that i was (and i am) playing is GT5, without any problems, till last night.
I was racing on-line, and suddenly i was disconnected from the server (not the PSN) ..... ok that happened before, no worries (i said).... so i got in to another room and when i pressed the garage button, ps3 froze for about 2-3 minutes... ok i said i must clean the system cache.....so i did it and i thought to do this properly, i've restarted both console and the router.
I turn everything back ON, boot the game and when i finally was back to a room... beep beep beep and the PS3 restarts...

*** Note this is my new GT5 Bunlde PS3, when i heard the 3 beeps, reminded me the old fat dog and for a second (till the XMB shows up again) i was thinking how i can bomb $ony.

Anyway, when the XMB booted, and PS3 was singed to PSN, i though to check for update (before getting to recovery menu) and guess what? "New update found 3.56" :S ......well ok.....or i am loosing my mind or the ps3 has some serious issues.
I check the installed FW and it was 3.56.... i check again for update and it says 3.56 found... i double-triple check it... i signed out and in 3-4 times to PSN, no problem....wth???
I did the update, and re-checked if there is a another "new-er" 3.56FW and now it says (as it should in first place) "the latest software is already installed etc etc".

Wth was that? any ideas? happened to anyone else?

Yes there are 2 versions of 3.56, the first version would not let people update to a larger hdd, so sony released a fixed version.

However I doubt this would have caused your ps3 to crash, imo that sound slike a different problem.
