It is heavily used here, doubles as a mediaplayer, main email server (>800 a 
day) and so on.  I am very sensitive to its health :-)  It had a couple of 
months uptime before I tried the later kernels, whereupon it would survive < 
1 day, sometimes < 1 hr.  On returning it to the 2.6.7 kernel it is up 5 days 
already with no flakiness.  So I am quite certain the problems are not coming 
from physical issues or inherent heat problems.

The same problems were present in certain kernels before, a few months ago, I 
can't remember if this was before -437 or after it.  Whichever, -437 is 
definitely perfectly stable.
