I'll second that it is very strange to have something like LS hit any mainstream magazine, much less this one.
The new LS is unstable and generally doesn't work much because testing OTS2 themes is still a bit of a mystery (several themes having odd problems and th themer(s) not being able to recreate them, and several themes released more as testing than to really be used by people)...it'll iron itself out and soon there will lots of perfectly functional and stable OTS2 themes for the masses.
I've not had LS crash due to an issue with Litestep itself since one of the .24.5 betas. I'm just now getting to where I enjoy messing with it enough to try to polish my themes off to upload (unlike 3pixelbliss where I skipped the polishing bit), and haven't been too experimental until recently with it, but I've been using LS since the days when WinNT4 SP3 was modern, and have had no problems at all with stability since, I think it was .24.5b5.
