Thanks.  You need to evaluate whether it's more important for you to
try to get the problem fixed, or to keep dealing with the downtime
from the crashes.  Trying to reproduce on a test machine is also a
good idea.

Unfortunately, debugging system problems does take work, but at the
same time if you can't put the work in, it's not so likely you'll be
able to resolve the problem.

All software has bugs, and sometimes hardware has bugs too.
