Typically what kind of things do you see regarding to instability?
Other things I've noticed but haven't reported:

mclient shell redirection looks strange to me.
try this:

   $ mclient -l sql -d test -u test 1>1.out 2>2.out

i've seen other unix utils that request a password
navigate this successfully.

i've seen behavior change depending on the case
of the text in the SQL.  i don't remember exactly
what now, as i just worked around it.

i've also had trouble with the server crashing when
i tried setting ulimit's.  sjoerd wrote great stuff,
and i carefully followed it, but it didn't work for me.

finally, from reading the code, i've seen that strdup()
return values are often (usually?) ignored. there
was even one case where fopen() return value was
ignored, someone fixed that after I posted to the
dev list.

shared library handling makes some assumptions
that aren't valid on all platforms.

mx was segfaulting before sjoerd applied a variant
of my patch (bug #2330).

That's all I can think of at the moment.
