Since we've started using OSPF in our Maxen the following symptoms have
cropped up:

1. Random reboots once every two weeks or so. Sometimes only a day,
   sometimes as long as three weeks.

2. OSPF dies with a memory allocation error, stopping OSPF. This error
   causes routing to stop working altogether, resulting in a MAX that
   takes calls and leaves the customer with a "dead" connection.

#1 is painful but only irritating.

#2 is simply unacceptable.

Conversely, the PM3's we have don't seem to exhibit these symptoms at all.

Anxiously awaiting a reply.
