Some of my fpc programs run for months on linux clusters and some multi threaded daemons on OS X til reboot.
So far: No long time crashes or mem leaks.
But I second Jonas mail: Before you run an fpc program in a
zero-tolerance environment, you have to test a lot of things, because a
lot of code was not written with zero-tolerance in mind.
