This is absolutely NOT the norm. I've NEVER had to do that; I cannot
REMEMBER the last time my Finder or Mail crashed (even on my PPC
laptop, certainly not on my Intel desktop).
Run Applejack/Memtest to deep-clean your system and check your
RAM...I'm betting you've got bad RAM in there somewhere.
I use three sometimes four Macs on a daily basis, which generally
have very long uptimes (just got a system update so my current uptime
is only 6 days); my laptop is pretty much never rebooted; I just
sleep it as needed, and I NEVER have app crashes.
I've had the same problems on all three of my Macs, and all three
behaved very well under Tiger. I do run Applejack monthly in both manual
and deep clean modes, and I have run memtest on all three with no
problems reported. So I've learned to live with it, knowing that safe
boots would temporarily stop the failed logout cycle is a big help
(thanks again to whomever told me about this).
