I once stitched a very large (~115 6Mpix 48-bit frames) panorama where I
shot each frame simply by resting my camera on the rail of the ferry I
was on and shooting as the ferry proceeded into port. The final stitched
TIFF came in at 768MB. Not everything aligned properly - after all, the
ferry made a few turns as it chugged into port. But lengthy chunks of it
were quite good.
I did it using a 1.8GHz Celeron processor (single core) with 2GB of RAM,
running whatever version of Hugin I had back then on Debian Sid Linux.
It took the poor little machine about 8 hours to do it. No crashes. Lots
of disk activity, I'm sure the swap partition was getting hammered and
probably contributed a lot to the slowness.
The main cause of crashes I've had with Hugin have been the OpenGL
preview, which seems to be very sensitive to changes in OpenGL libraries.
I'm quite happy with Hugin despite the UI going the wrong direction.

After reading some of the comments in this thread, I'd like to take
the opportunity to thank the Hugin contributers for their work. I am
very content with the software and I am often impressed by the output
it produces. Even on my fairly old computer with limited resources
(about 1 GB of free RAM), I am able to stitch panoramas consisting of
35 photos without real problems. In fact I can't recall any crashes.
For me, Hugin is pretty stable.
My system information is displayed below. This year I switched to
Windows 7; before that I used XP on which Hugin showed a similar
stability.
I did notice though, that since version 2013 the control point
detector gives a larger number of false control points, which can
cause the optimiser to come up with wrong parameters. Not sure if
this is somehow because of wrong default control point detector
settings.
Thanks again and greetings from a happy user!
