Thank you for the pointers. A couple of them have serious validity in
this environment.

For the moment, I've down-reved to 3.0.12, and the stability issue
seems to have subsided. There could be many reasons for that, but for
the moment I'm taking advantage of the calm, and using the time to
work the authentication issue.
Once that is resolved, or at least better understood by me, I'll look
at moving the version back up if necessary.
