Well, for a start, it does need some configuration (actually registration
information) the first time you run it.
Secondly, mine has dumped core twice before (for no apparent reason), and
solving that often IS rocket science...
I run it myself constantly (Linux version mostly, but also the Windoze
version when necessary), and it is generally pretty stable on my AMD
K6/2-380.
