No crashing at all here, Ubuntu 7.10 and latest stable from the Scribus
repository.

I still haven't submitted my Success Story to the wiki (sorry), but I
made a 100-odd page book with 1.3.3.10, no problems with linked frames.

Again, defining styles and then editing words here-and-there for
emphasis on-canvas worked like a charm in 1.3.3.10 when I made the book.

S&R works great in the Story Editor.

This, however, clearly needs work. The current state in 1.3.3.10 can be
quite confusing, but if you're aware of the behaviour, you learn not
having to use it. :)
