Dual Pentium MMX 200 on GA-586DX, not overclocked. The machine is about
2.5 years old, the fans of both CPUs have since twice been changed.

But: 2.2 crashes regularly, 2.0 runs rock stable. Well, at least it did
until I upgraded to 2.2.x. Maybe something in my hardware just happened
to break roughly at the same time I upgraded my system?

This may be an answer. Can anyone confirm this speculation?
