I installed the latest build as of several weeks ago on my 5G. "Stable" is in the eyes of the beholder but my Ipod has yet to lock up.  I have several themes installed and use Bookmarks quite a bit - nothing fancy.

if possible did you try it on another friends ipod?

or even did u clean install rockbox or install it over the top of a older build? ... cause i aint sure if it matters with rockbox but in general on stuff like XBMC (XBox Media Center for XBox1 console) everytime you update to newest version it's recommended to clean install it (i.e. delete the entire .rockbox folder and transfer in the new build) as this way everything is 'fresh'.

did you try any of that stuff... if not, i would give it a shot and see what happens ;)

I was wrong actually (http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=17193.0), there was something broken in my rockbox install. I deleted it completelly and reinstalled from the utility, and now it is very stable again.

ThaCrip:
@ Elias ... ahh i see, i was wondering if that was the issue and it appears it was.

glad you got it going again ;)

Elias_Maluco:
Actually not. I got another freeze yesterday. You can follow the story on my topic, but the strange thing is that I got the freeze only after I disabled the repeat in the settings. So I enabled it again and Ive been listening only to huge songs since then, to see if it still happens. So far, so good.
