FYI, since December of 2009 (release of 8.4.2) there have been 10 bugs
fixed with the word "crash" in their description, as well as 7 memory
leaks that could potentially lead to crash. Even six months ago I was
still hesitant to push 8.4 toward production systems; the number of bugs
shaken out in the last two releases has been substantial.
