At the risk of being a "me too" post -- I don't run init either but I've experienced the same stackdump problem. I'm not able to provide much info which is why I've kept quiet too. I could not find a pattern on my two W2K machines, same random stackdumps across almost all apps. After unsuccessfully doing clean reinstalls of 1.5.14 and 1.5.15 I gave up, reverted to 1.5.12 and uninstalled cron to stabilize my systems.
