Are you sure?  I haven't had any unstability problems with it since
the first version I played, 1.5.4.  Can you detail the problem?
Can it be the problem mentioned in the FAQ, of an extended Xaw
library posing as plain vanilla Xaw?

I don't, but

 % ./configure --help | fgrep xaw
  --with-xaw              use the Xaw widget set for the xaw client
  --with-xaw3d            use the Xaw3d widget set for the xaw client
