Opera 7.11 freezing in 4.8-STABLE?

[Don Tyson]

Is anyone else seeing regular freezes with Opera 7.11
with 4.8-STABLE in "ordinary" browsing (i.e., not
flash, not anything special)?  I think I'm seeing
more frequent freezes or core dumps than
in the 6 series, including ones that lock the OS
itself, and wonder whether this is a common or
known problem and whether there's a fix. 

Archives are unavailable, and Google has only a
reference to broken flash.

Thanks.
