My experience with XSB in the late '90s up until about 2001 was that
was it was quite unstable. This may have changed.

My experience is more recent. With XSB is more stable than Yap, I meant
specifically two things: (1) that I can lure new releases of Yap most often
into a segmentation fault. With XSB, I have to work harder. (2) both systems
evolve, and XSB's pace seems slower/more carefull/more reliable to me.
(1) and (2) might be related.
