Been running for well over a year now - in production, from 5.3-RELEASE to 
6.0-RELEASE units in single and dual AMD Opterons, and on AMD Athlon 64 desktops 
- no instability as far as I've encountered, outside of some library and version 
compatability stuff with ldap/threads/nss_ldap - but still not cause lockup of 
machine or anything, just wayward ldap processes (problem fixed within 6.0-RC1 
and newer) - so would really reccomend you go with the 6.0 branch if you're 
going to be using nss/pam tied to an LDAP tree anyhow.
