Just curious Bill. What are the perceived disadvantages of square corner chambers?

I've had a couple folks tell me that the square corners stress more and or crack there easier then the guns that have a radius in the corner . Whether that rings true or not I do not know , but when I got around to buying a lifter gun I made an effort to get one with a radius . And it still needed a good bit of work (but it wasn't cracked), but for what I paid and the fact that it was made in 1881 I think I still came out okay .
