I have an idea... upgrade to 3.0 or 3.1

3.0 is practically bug free except when you upgrade (or at least when I did) to Windows XP Service Pack 2, it will no longer be usable. 3.1 is SLIGHTLY buggy as I've found, since there's no official release yet, but it works under Service Pack 2. But at any rate, you no longer have an excuse to use 2.x

3.0 M8 was the build I was using of 3.0, and I never found a bug in it until I found it couldn't run with SP2. I think that'll be your best bet if you're worried about problems.
