I am curious if this might be the issue for my g3/700MHz 14" iBook, which is running the latest Tiger and Safari updates (thanks to Software Update). The difference for me is that, instead of having Safari freeze, the entire OS freezes (no kernel panic - just stop-in-your-tracks hard freeze), where I have to press the power button for manual shutdown. Reboot sometimes THEN delivers a kernel panic window upon remounting the desktop, sometimes not. Thanks, Dana
That means you have something else wrong. A hard freeze of the OS is a real bad sign. Safari MIGHT be the trigger but the cause of the freeze is something else.
First thing, check your free disk space. If you run low BAD (TM) things can happen. Otherwise I'd suspect bad memory.
