Er, other than send-pr?  Is the complaint that things don't get fixed
quickly enough?  Compared to what other real-world OS?

I may be misremembering, but as I recall one of the symptoms was a
reboot with no panic.  I don't mean to be insulting, but are you quite
sure that power is not involved?  I see things like that when my
UPS battery has gone bad, and any slight dip in line voltage causes
the UPS to switch but the battery gives nothing.  And I can't count
the number of times I've had power hits in a telco server room.  I
apologize in advance if I've confused your problem with somebody else's.
