Can you give some examples where you've had equipment lock up? We have many units deployed in the field, on towers, customer sites. The only time I've ever had a lockup was with the 5.3.x bug where after 30 days of uptime a change would cause a lockup.
I've never had anything lock up by itself. We even go so far as to tell our customers, if you ever have to power cycle your radio or (us supplied) router, call us because something is wrong. To date (two years) I've received 0 calls regarding this.
