Try removing any resources from the resource fork and see if that doesn't
fix it.  There have been issues reported with some instances of code
resources not being unloaded properly.

While I seem to be the only other person reporting this, I have seen that
all stacks created with any earlier version of MC will have some of their
colors set at the stack level in 2.4 and 2.4.1.   If you had previously
relied on having the colors of your mainstack be inherited by your
substacks, you'll need to clear the topcolor, hilitecolor, and
backgroundcolor properties of your substacsk to resume that inheritance.

Again, check for external calls, esp. those involving stacks being closed.
Your case may not be related to that, but with 2.4.1 those are the only hard
crashes I've had.

You can always check that by setting the lookandfeel property to "Macintosh"
and see if that makes a difference.
