Actually, what I meant to write, was that in my experience the only stable
versions (DB not subject to continual corruption, memory leaks, server
on/off button pressing does not corrupt database, etc.) was reached at
2.2.13.

2.2.17 gives months (at least 3) of uptime without trouble and, of course,
2.2.23 is the bee's knees, with even more bugfixes - though no new
"features".
