We are currently running 5.1R2 but are in the process of moving to 5.3R1.
The only indexes which don't appear to change are the permanent interfaces
(fxp's, tap, pimd, etc) the GigE and Sonet interfaces seem to jump around
quite a bit (especially on RE failovers).

Actually it should remain stable across reboots and reconfigurations unless
there is HW change.

This was not always the case, though. What release are you running?
