So there was some discussion recently about SMP boxes spontaneously 
rebooting with no crash dump logged.

as someone considering upgrading to 4.9 i naturally have some 
reservation and concern.

Can folks comment on 4.9 stability and SMP.
Are these rare fluke cases or a more common occurrence?

Thanks,
