It takes me at least 2 hands to count the times an ISV product has crashed a system I've worked on. And these were supported versions. Things like PSA overlays, UCB overlays etc. Of course over the years IBM has added lots of code and features to repair critical control blocks and there are captured UCBs etc., so it less frequent. None of these comments include IBM's own bugs that have crashed systems.
