Agreed.  Another reason not to keep futzing with 1.2.  It ain't broke
(except for .18 in your case), so don't keep fixing it, other than to
patch security issues.  (Security patches are not supposed to cause core
dumps... I hope that the difference for you between .15 and .18 isn't a
big security threat.)

Ideally there is a recent release of 1.2 that is truly stable for the
majority of users.  If not, then I dearly hope that Digium get one out
there before August 2007.  Abandoning 1.2 while it is in an unstable
condition would be a tragedy.
