I didn't try the .4 since the good point about this problem is I 
switched my system to x86-64. I'm going to try it out of curiosity.

Regarding the when the "bug" (or not) happens, it's usually soon after 
boot time on my system, which is usually heavily loaded (with .1 I could 
hardly reach the login screen). The longer I got was with the vanilla 
build, about half an hour, for the debian builds it was always less than 
that.
