Running KnoppMyth R5A16 using ivtv 0.3.6.something.  Uptime since last
reboot would have been 5 weeks and counting, but I forgot to set enable
the MythTV auto-expire.  The /myth partition filled up (missed scifi
friday last week, argh!) and MythTV decided to fill all the logs with
complaints about running out of room before logrotate could catch up,
requiring I manually clear out the / filesystem of GB log files as well.

But mostly, it's been rock solid.  I consider my problem above more an
operator error type.  Recent ivtv has not been a source of instability,
but caution is warranted that you don't pick a release with known
problems.
