For me, WP and SS are quite stable (no modules preloaded); PL usually does
okay; and I rarely use graphics.

However, DB doesn't do well at all.  I have a couple of small databases I
use reliably, but larger ones which have some importance have made my life
miserable.  A long time ago, several posted that AWGS DB was to be avoided
in general; the recommendation was for DB Master Pro, as I recall.  

At any rate, those databases I have that always work are _small_ (perhaps
less than 15 fields and less than 100 records).  Those which fail seem to
share two characteristics, unfortunately: larger in size (perhaps over 100
records), and containing important data that isn't backed up at the time
(don't ask me how it knows).
