Ok, I have to admit that my SeaMonkey does never run longer than 
approximately 18 hours on 10.3 and I almost never crash with it. And if 
I do it's almost everytime Flash-nspluginwrapper.
And it seems that some package management brings it down sometimes. 
Could be gconf related as sometimes when I update unrelated packages 
SeaMonkey is just closing down.
But overall stability is quite good here (at least for the 18 hours 
runtime).
If you don't use mailnews for example SM shouldn't have any more memory 
leaks than Firefox. (Probably a bit because of xpfe but at least Gecko 
is the same).
