Pascal
I am sure that many people here would be more than happy to hear about 
particular problems you are hitting. Like Stas I have never had problems with 
the stability of PHP5 in 10 years of running it. YES I can get it to crash, but 
it has always told me why and fixing the problem clears that up. I do have sites 
that become unstable, but I have yet to find a situation where PHP was the 
problem ...

My grumble is with having to rewrite code simply because someone has decided 
that what I was doing is no longer acceptable ... if I can run my code with 
display_errors ON then I know I've got clean code :)
