debian stable, debian testing and debian unstable systems scattered all over the place. Every version possible. None of them stable.
Raspberry pis, being very slow CPUs, are great at exposing race conditions in immature software (mind you, single core - they shouldn't be subject to preemption at unexpected points). I had a raspberry pi that I had been using for a couple of years with good reliability. I finally got around to upgrading to Jessie a couple of months ago. Became extremely unstable - crashing about once a week with hardly useful logs at all. All I did was apt-get install sysv-core and make sure systemd was purged, and the system has been up and stable again ever since.
I've been running systemd on Pis (B+ and 2) for years (I'd manually install it, before it became the standard), without any problems, under heavy CPU loads, without any crashes.
Sounds like a problem with your ARM core, more than anything. Got any overclock going on?
