[EMAIL PROTECTED] touches pretty narrow parts of the system, doesn't it?
CPU-bound in userland with little kernel interaction AFAIK...perhaps not the
best thing to judge real-world stability by.

Besides maybe some memory access, does running [EMAIL PROTECTED] really show
system stability any more than the following shell script shows system
stability?
while true; do done;
[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes only about 4K to disk once per minute per
process. Minimal network traffic to receive work units (240K) & send
results as required (about 4-12 times per process per day depending on cpu
speed).
