Can confirm that.
In the last 6 Months, no version of mldonkey (release, cvs, or pango) has ever 
crashed, let alone locked up the system on my woody box. And I also never had 
the problem of excessive memory usage...
ocaml and LablGTK compiled from the tarballs and installed to /usr/local (not 
using official .debs).
