Hi,

I'm also running 9.3 with all the latest patches and I do not have any of the 
problems mentioned below. I would even say, to me, 9.3 is more stable than 
9.2

However, I must admit I once had similar problems after I tried the 
"suspend-to-disk" feature. My computer didn't wake up, so I had to reset 
which screwed up my filesystem. After that, everything seemed to be okay at 
first, but there were some strange problems like RPM crashing with a segfault 
only upon installation of certain packages (cvs-*.rpm in my case).
After a reinstallation, all those problems were gone. So it's quiet obvious 
that the filesystem (ReiserFS) screwed up. It also was no problem to install 
all patches provided by YOU then.

Greetings
Adrian
