I'm aware of the multi-session problem, I can reproduce it
easily and will investigate. Regarding stability, any problems
with 0.9.60 ought to show up in 0.9.58 too (at least on 2.4
kernels).
Currently known sources of instability is:
- Certain kernel versions (mainly 2.4.5-preX - 2.4.5) might
cause problems related to the MM handling. This looks like
a kernel bug, but I'm not sure.
- CONFIG_TAU_INTERRUPTS (probably only on certain CPU)
- Mac OS ROM version mismatch. Always use the one in the
system folder. Newer ROMs is as far as I know compatible with 0.9.60.
- Kernel module version mismatch. With 0.9.60-3, it is better
to recompile the kernel module than doing 'startmol -a'.
