I have seldom run into crash with 1.4.1 + maintenance patch. However, I
have not been able to reproduce or get any log out of crash. v1.4.x is
quite stable in my opinion. For everyday PVR usage it has not crashed
once. Some plugins still causes some problems (mainly TV-OnScreen that
crashes if there is a specific situation with empty column and user hits
enter. Normal empty column problem works well. Unfortunately I cannot be
more specific without further testing).

Thanks for the info! These features are not important for me so I'll be
using v1.4.x a bit more longer :-)
