I don't know the problem you're referring to, so I have no idea ...

That depends what you're looking for. My server runs stable; my laptop
(which is also my main development machine) runs unstable; my
workstation at work ran stable up until late last week, and now runs
testing because I wanted mozilla-firebird with anti-aliased fonts.
Right now, systems running testing are actually substantially out of
date with respect to unstable, due to problems holding up chunks of
GNOME 2 and all of KDE 3, and more recently problems with glibc 2.3.2.
Once the latter is resolved I expect the former two to follow reasonably
soon.
