|or has somebody actually had problems?

I think it's simply a matter of the "warranty". If a 1.3 kernel gives
problems well you were warned, but if a 1.2 kernel crashes, that's
taken seriously.  I've been running 1.3.35 for a long time and I've
never had it crash, although fsck did bomb out once when booting up
with some disk irregularities. So I booted up a 1.2 kernel, let fsck
sort it out and then rebooted 1.3. There are a couple of cases where
only a 1.3 will do and I think running Dynamic Disk Overlay 6.0.3 is
one of them.  My friend has DDO and 1.3.17 and has never complained
about the kernel crashing, although he wishes there was a (free) TGUI
9440 SVGA X server that works.
