I would have to agree with Jordan here. Of course with the plethora of PC
hardware combinations out there (with some of the marginally designed
components people pick up) it is impossible for the developers to make sure
100% of everything "works as expected (TM)."

I went through the 2.2.8->3.0 transition and now I've installed 4.0-RC, RC2,
and RC3 on the same hardware that I did the 2.2.8->3.0 transition on and I can
say without a doubt that 4.0 is a *much* better ".0" release than 3.0 was. 

This "crypto" thing is tripping people up, but it's just a matter of RTFM, not
instability of the software.

As with everything, YMMV ....
