I've been having a similar problem—crash on activation with KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE exception. Fortunately, B54 continues to work for me, so I'm just using that, but I'd like to upgrade to Snow Leopard so I'd like to see this issue investigated so I can for sure use B56a7.
I've posted about it twice before but nobody ever really addressed it. This seems like a fairly important issue (unless it can be confirmed to never happen on Leopard+, in which case it's not really that important) that needs to be addressed, so I'd really appreciate a response.
