 Just to verify: Are you using 0.92.4?

 At least for me, 0.92.4 seemed stable (no crashing.)  Now maybe internally,
some things weren't working.

 On the other side of this, anyone look into the spell casting altars much?  It
certainly makes things like non spellcasters having a better chance at
survival.  Not sure if the prices is are really that good (10 gp for detect
magic, 25 for detect curse.)  Probably not too bad.  It casts more than those
values to buy a scroll of that, but you get less than that if you try to sell a
scroll (will vary based on charisma.)

 Probably some of remove curse/remove damnation might be nice.  Even things
like heal spells could be interesting.
