In fact, I don't ever recall IPW being stable in any revision since the 
project began. Now that it's in base, it's still not stable on my T41. I'd 
put more effort into testing/debugging but I haven't had time or energy. 

Certainly Dan and I aren't the only ones having this issue? This issue being 
instability and locking up when there's high traffic levels.
