I use request tracker - RT: Request Tracker - Best Practical - bit of a b1tch to install but really nice once up and running. Very stable and configurable.
Someone linked me to this one last week - Open Atrium - built on Drupal core, looks really interesting but not had time to have a play with it yet.
