"It works fine in releases 9.0(1) and 8.3(3)" is, shall we say, a very
relative statement.  It is much less broken than 8.2(7) was, where the
router would basically stop doing anything in order to pick up and process
large amounts of routes.  It still has problems in 8.3(3).  For one, if you
make a change to an access list you have to kill and restart BGP in order
for the change to take place.  Secondly, although not a bug, for those of
us who need to do some complicated routing, route redistribution by AS
is missing (and where is IBGP?).

In all fairness, BGP is improving with each release (isn't that always
the way) but "It works fine..." might be a bit misleading.
