nope, not at all.  I personally rank it just below solaris and above  
linux in reliability.  I just took an X-serve down after 4 years of  
reliable service.  The hardware finally flaked out, so I had to put  
it down.

Tom brought up a good point, though.  If you are using USB/rs232  
adapters, please list which one, especially the chipset if you can  
(list the device special file name if all else fails; sometimes  
that's a clue).

The only serious problems I've ever had at the mac OS level when  
using xastir were related to the driver for a usb/232 adapter.
