Hopefully. As is regularly pointed out, 'stable' refers primarily to the ABI. FreeBSD 6.1-stable is still under active development, though only code that has previously been tested in -current is supposed to be commited. There are also fairly regular postings pointing out that _all_ software has bugs. Some of these bugs will cause crashes. -- Peter Jeremy
