nope, not at all. I personally rank it just below solaris and above linux in reliability. I just took an X-serve down after 4 years of reliable service. The hardware finally flaked out, so I had to put it down.
Tom brought up a good point, though. If you are using USB/rs232 adapters, please list which one, especially the chipset if you can (list the device special file name if all else fails; sometimes that's a clue).
The only serious problems I've ever had at the mac OS level when using xastir were related to the driver for a usb/232 adapter.
