It would help instead of just mentioning this issue to build from CVS 
with debugging enabled as per the documentation and try to submit an 
actual bug report.  I have 0.16 CVS running since 0.16 release and it is 
rock solid.  You are probably experiencing problems related to your 
particular hardware and/or kernel that should be debugged.
