I've definitely been having stability issues with all the 3.6 builds. This is
on Solaris 10 x86, fully patched. After a few days it mysteriously exits.
That's a few days pretty intensive use. I've seen hangs, what appear
to be crashes (in the sense that the browser simply goes to grey outlines
for a while), in addition to the simple exit. Sometime it loses its
persona, which is irritating as that's one thing I like about 3.6. Not a
squeak of useful diagnostic information, so I thought I would mention
it in case others were seeing the same.

I don't see this on my home machine, where usage is much lower and it
gets restarted every day, nor did I have these issues with any of the 3.5
series.
