You can try a -current snapshot, as pointed out by others; my
comment was simply that I haven't seen any of the issues you
point out either with the 1.6 betas (I don't think I actually
ran 1.6 release for very long, if at all as I upgraded from
one of the betas to a post-1.6 -current) or with -current...

If your box freezes on a semi-regular-basis I certainly don't
recommend trying to get to -current via source update 8-)
