Not that I'd know of -- because there's no need for it. ;)

Agreed, this sounds like an issue either with this particular build or
other circumstances particular to your machine/system.

Are you running a GNOME Desktop? If not, are the necessary daemons
running? Did you set any specific build options? Is there like any
common behavior whatsoever, when Evo crashes? In order to pin this one
down, we'd need way more details.

Generally, Evo should be pretty stable. It definitely is for me, and I
use to stress and test Evo pretty often... :)

You're not running any unstable/development code alongside with Evo
2.4.1, are you?
