Ohh.. that's really bad.

Just FYI, I've been running warty since it was in prerelease and I
haven't had one single system crash yet.  I've had firefox and
evolution and even gnome-terminal crash, but that's it.

So warty itself is not unstable. 

Hope it get's better for you, maybe someone can help, sorry I can't
