While instability was a problem in earlier versions, by 4.3 I see practically 
none.  I suspect that some problems are caused by interactions between 
applications and/or customisations.  This inevitably makes it hard to track 
problems down, so filing bug reports with maximum supporting information is 
the only way to stand a chance of solving a problem such as this.
