I tested 8.4 what I thought was fairly hardly last year only

8.4.1 on hold.
So to ME, the choice is a fully functional 8.3 installation that has
NO problems with free space map because of configuration choices, or
an 8.4 with a known (to me) issue of crashing and dying.
FYI, since December of 2009 (release of 8.4.2) there have been 10 bugs
fixed with the word "crash" in their description, as well as 7 memory
leaks that could potentially lead to crash. Even six months ago I was
still hesitant to push 8.4 toward production systems; the number of bugs
shaken out in the last two releases has been substantial.
