> But it runs here fairly stable, crashed only once on me...

I'm sorry, but only to someone who has been gotten to by M$ would crashing once
be considered stable.

I consider linux stable since the only time it has crashed is in the face of
blatently bad (bad meaning it went bad, although it was an NE2k card, so it was
arguably bad to begin with) hardware.  I do not consider XFree stable since it
will crash once a month or so.  I consider Mozilla even less stable since it
can't figure out how to keep 50 windows open at once without crashing.  I mean
for crying out loud.  If this is such a problem, make each window a completely
seperate process, rather than children of a parent (so that if one crashs, the
others are unaffected)/
