I'm using KDE 3.3 on 5.2.1. One thing that can cause problems is having too many cached message bodies; I find that it can become less stable above ~3Gig. There *may* also be problem with large groups. I once had a group surge to 180,000 articles and pan crashed several times on it, before I deleted the headers and repulled the most recent 30,000. That might have been a one-off problem with corruption though.
