Since at least one person is still having an issue I'll update this thread with my ongoing experience, which is almost entirely positive. I have had no crashes on our standard server since I made a few adjustments to my settings, used the /affinity batch file mentioned in a previous post and installed the patch I mentioned in one of my own previous posts.

Since my last post, I have had only one crash to desktop and that was in Kunark beta, while backing up from a mob in a fight, while leved. After that, I disabled texture caching on a hunch. I have not gone back to beta yet, but the rest of my game play as I said, has been fine with zero crashes. Granted I have been avoiding lev with the character that has been most prone (go figure) to these crashes.

I think most of the people that have begun to suffer this problem are probably running Windows 7 with SP1. The patch to the Windows 7 SP1 I mentioned (do read the full Knowledge Base article) is probably the key fix here. I think the batch file that applies affinity to a particular processor is also important - particulary if you have this problem and are not running Windows 7 SP1. I have no idea if my settings adjustments have helped, but to reiterate what might have been effective among those, they were:
* frame rate to 50
* version 1.1 shaders only
* texture caching off
* dynamic lighting off
* changed sky reflecction update to only every 10 seconds
I made a few other changes to gama and the amount of distance one can see, but I doubt these would have had a beneficial effect.
