Here I think I disagree. On the one hand I recall precisely
the same problems from the 1.0 times (indeed, 1.0 would panic).
On the other hand I think that the driver has been essentially
unmodified all this time, so it would be surprising if there was
significant change in behaviour.
Can you find a driver version that you proclaim relatively stable?
More stable than the current one?
