I've installed Fink three times now, just to get the "jstar" WordStar clone
working so I can type properly.  Each time -- and this may just be
coincidence -- within a day I get crashes in all sorts of applications, all
starting with the lines:
Exception:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes:      KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS (0x0001)

and each time, finally, I've had to reformat the drive and reinstall.

Now I don't blame Fink -- this definitely happens even when I haven't
installed Fink, within a couple of weeks' use of OS X.  I find the error
message is from Mach code via BSD Unix, a virtual memory problem.  Nobody
in Apple's "Amateur Hour" discussion boards answers questions about it, I
would guess it's a known bug on some internal list that we mere users don't
see.

But, stop me before I try again, if anyone around here knows for sure
whether or not OS X 10.1.5 itself is stable enough to be messing with Fink.
