Do you know of any additional diagnostics I could run to check whether
my stuck heal problem is the one described in that bug report?  The most
obvious symptoms match, but, of course, that's not conclusive proof.

That's my understanding as well.  In this case, "stable" is meant in the
"no changes to the software" sense rather than the "do everything
possible to make the software more reliable" sense.  Unfortunately,
those two goals are generally in conflict, since making the software
more reliable tends to mean making changes to it.

Sounds good, and thanks for referring the question to those who would
know!
