The buffer overflow bug was something I had been experiencing for a while, it would cause my client to crash, glad to see that has been fixed.

Core is still randomly crashing for me from time to time, but I think that is because I run it on a very old system. I have not been able to pinpoint the cause of most of my crashes, and the log file doesn't give any clues.

Can you give the specs of your machine? I run a node on my old laptop with 4GB of ram. Still runs on 0.11 but no crashes or whatsoever.

Laptop specs in case you're wondering:

AMD Phenom II N620 2.8 Ghz
AMD Mobility Radeon HD4250
4 GB of ram and a 320GB HDD

If yours is greater, I suspect a faulty memory in that case.

Memory has been brought to my attention before as a likely culprit. My machine is old, here are it's specs:

Intel Core2 6600 @ 2.40 GHz
Nvidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti
4 GB ram, but WinXP only sees 2.75 GB
1 TB+ 7200 rpm of HD space on 3 physical drives

I will run memtest just for fun, but it's probably just the age and architecture of my machine that crashes core.

i'm with you.
since 0.9.3 ... bitcoin crash for no reason.

so ... i use an auto-restart program : Application Monitor
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1114415.msg12386392#msg12386392

work perfectly.

When bitnodes emails me that my node is down I can VPN to my machine and restart core.
