9.4.12 has been stable on ec-eval.csail.mit.edu during periods of fairly
heavy use. I tried some of the previously mentioned recipes for oopses
and couldn't trigger any. I did get an oops while shutting down the
machine. After a few hundred lines like
Failed to invalidate all pages on inode 0xc9c80580

The machine did shut down cleanly after that.
