Indeed. I don't harbor any illusions about V8 (or any other software, in fact) being 100% issue-proof. Heck, just today morning EIC Strings Ensemble is falling apart, it plays a 30-note cluster chord instead of its notes. Trouble can and will arise in any software, one can only attempt to minimize the chances.
This being stated, the most unreliable mess in my studio is still a certain hardware device, too devoid of any alternative to toss. Live 8, in comparison, performs very well.
