I discovered some buffer under/overflows in OpenJPEG (Big nasty overrun in the vectorization patch, actually) which seemed to be the source of most of the crashyness. SL runs real stable for me now. :) Yes, I've been busy trying to work things upstream (and busy with life) so I've been rather distracted from packaging. I need to get a new OpenJPEG package out, I think I got SVN snapshots working the way the packaging guidelines want. Note that upstream considers the Linux build "alpha" as long as it's not feature complete. Video streaming support via gstreamer was recently added, which was the last missing feature... until they added voice support. Which the Linux client is still missing. Sigh. (Voice support is implemented via a binary blob and uses a patent encumbered codec, so even if the Linux version of the binary blob turns up, Fedora users are still SOL until that changes. Trust me, I've chewed out upstream about this.)
