RE: (ASCEND) Mickey Mouse coded 6.1

AT least you got a fatal-error, look at this:

SYSTEM IS UP:  Index: 100  Load: ftik.m40 Revision: 6.1.0
        Date: 05/31/1998.       Time: 14:37:23

It just rebooted itself Saturday afternoon for no reason, not
even an error code.  And it wasn't power - it is plugged into
the same UPS as another Max and a Cisco router.  Only reason
I knew is one of my software probes sounded the alarm.  And
the box isn't overloaded either - granted it has 3 PRI's and
a nailed T1 that leads to another Max, but the 3 PRI's are the
last in our hunt group so only handle the overflow when the
primary is busy at this POP.  And the T1 leads to a brand new
POP that has less then 10 users at any given time. Normally
only 20-30 calls handled at any given time.  It also has it's
own dial number so we can use it as our experimental box -
like testing 6.1.0.  As you can see run time was just under 6
days.  If a light loaded box is behaving this way...NO WAY I am
going to put it on our primaries!

Kevin?  Mitch?  Why no response so far from Ascend on 6.1.0
and it's severe instability compared to the beta code?

Look at a sample from this one box, It had a very rough time :

Let's count those up :Warning 140 , Warning 175 , Fatal 8 , Fatal 29.

How can this escape regression testing? Does Ascend drug test? maybe it's
time to pass the cup around the regression test lab, What really bothers
me is I never saw any of these error in the private beta I participated
in. What's the point of having a beta if you are going to change the code
after before release?
