I've had a couple of these also...(same platform)
  but the requirement to identify
a reproducible recipe has made it difficult to consider posting a
bug. interestingly, when this happens, my

on closestack
    save this stack
end closestack

seem, to fire and I haven't really lost any work.
And I've never had to restart my machine.

i had a couple of such crashes on close stacks
that were open over the network (the stack is actually
on the server in another room)...

But, true: 2.7.4 was more stable.

but to keep things in perspective:

2.8.1  is still more stable than Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0
which unexpectedly quits on me quit regularly (from the new
CS3 Suite)

Go figure (smile)
