You're describing the situation that I've dealt with consistently with the difference of time.
My first "real" job started down-sizing a year after I started... took me a year to jump. When I did, I got out of programming only to end up with a shattered ankle. That put me back in programming and on my own. Recently I was looking at the job I had taken that put me an hour drive from home (each way) and decided to jump to something that was almost too good to be true. Turned out to be a bad decision because within a month and a half it was no more. Thankfully I found something closer than my old job but took a drop in pay. My experience is that every time you change jobs you take a leap of faith. Stability is huge, as in environment. From the sounds of it your mind is made up. I'd ask this - have you talked to your current boss about your level of dissatisfaction? Taken him/her to lunch and shared your concerns over the decisions they've been making? Asked what he sees in your future in the company? Sometimes people never even realize that there's a problem until it's too late.
