Hmmm. Well I can only comment on our in house experiences which have
lead us to conclude that the STATS and INFO modules were at fault. We
will at some point try v1.2b2 in the lab but production is stable on the
current version. Could it be we're talking of two different problems?
We were experiencing the problems on a regular bassis (about 1.5 times a
day avg.) and since removing the two modules in question, we've recorded
0 incidents. It's hard for us to discredit the numbers.
