I don't really know, but I can confirm that both 2.2.x and 2.4.x kernels
are unstable on a beige g3 and a bmac equipped b/w g3.  I can crash them
rather easily with regular programs, given a day or two.

Can you point at which program reliably crashes beige/G3?

It's usually rsync.

that's what I use as my dev/build machine and it seems to be stable (2.4.x)
except under the following circumstance:

If I boot using the BootX application - at which point something drops a
bomb which almost always ends up in the network stack and shows up as an
illegal instruction (usually an FP one).

Ah, yes, we use BootX app here, too.  Version 1.2.2, I think.
