If it's GRINOS, I've seen no system here in Houston last more than 6-7 days
without rebooting.  Pretty reproducible.  I run KarnCode, and haven't had that
problem, but, I've never let it run for more than 2 months or so.

Probably where the problem is located.  Seems like we chased this bug a year
or so ago.

:-) At what level?  I prefer something above the 1k limit...

Sounds like you've defined a stable system for your application.
