I'm sorry to hear you guys are having OSPF troubles. I had the same kind of
problems for ages and went through extensive troubleshooting with Ascend to
try to fix it. We never knew why it got stable but it did. Here's what we
went through. I suggest you try it, as it works great for us now:

1. Clear non-volatile RAM. Do it whenever you update software:

fclear
Clears non-volatile RAM of configuration saved by tload.

fsave
Saves configuration to non-volatile RAM.

nvr
Clears non-volatile RAM and resets. If you've just uploaded new code via
tload, configuration was saved to flash RAM and will be retained.
Otherwise, configuration will be lost. Doing an nvr after tloading new code
is recommended.

2. Make _sure_ you have no duplicate routes. We found that we'd
inadvertantly assigned the same subnet to two clients, each handled by a
different Max talking OSPF to each other.

3. Turn off OSPF on unused interfaces. If your routers are talking to each
other over WAN lines, you don't need it running on your Ethernet port.

4. Run at least 5.0Ap16  on any 4000s. I have yet to try Ap20. Pre-1.3A
versions seemed fine on the TNT, and 1.3A is also stable for me. Again, I
have yet to try later versions.

I really hope this helps. I was in utter hell when my Maxen were rebooting
themselves. There's pretty much nothing worse in this business.
