The last nagios release (or rather, the latest, as I dearly hope it's not the
last ever) is considered beta software. Hence the '0b5' after the dot in the
version number. It's the fifth beta version of Nagios 3.

Ethan is going to do some testing to find some performance issue before he
cuts another release, I think, and I also have some patches pending. AFAIK, he
left from Nürnberg to the US today, so he'll most likely be home and reading
emails again by this time tomorrow.

I think some do, but they're almost certainly running it on test-machines.
It's beta. It's sort of expected to crash once in a while, and when it
happens the beta-testers are exptected to help debugging it.
