Riddle me this.. is ANY software ever stable? Even Linux, with all it's 
peer-review and commercial contribution and development has specific 
issues under which it will crash.

Your question is too simple. The question should be "Given the following 
desired feature set, under the following conditions, with the following 
equipment, and this specific application, will Asterisk be stable?".

I can say that I run the current 1.0-stable CVS in production every single 
day and it is solid, reliable and stable for my purposes. I, however, 
realize that Asterisk is an open source product and as such there is a 
certain risk involved in running it. It's not a class-5 switch, and if you 
want 5 9's go get a DMS-100.
