OS X standalone problem

[Thomas McGrath III]

Sarah,

That is a standard OSX crash. I have been having a few of them lately  
with 10.4.4 updated.
( I had one where the dialog said that the crash involved "iChat and  
"an Unsanity" software. and it asked to send a report to both  
companies. Never saw that before...)

By standard I mean you end up with three choices, reopen, send report  
and close/cancel. And could be your app or a memory issue or conflict  
with software you have installed.

Try rebooting your system and see if it still crashes. If you want  
you can send me the stack and I can test it here to isolate whether  
it is something on your system or OS 10.4.4 etc.
