I've been running 6.0.1 with no problems (and 6.0 before that).
One tip for this particular case of freezing is something I ran
into with Stuffit Deluxe 5.5. I would download something that
would be unstuffed, then not too long afterward I would get a
hard freeze on my machine which only a reboot would cure. A
chance posting on a MacFixit forum solved the problem for me. In
order for Stuffit Deluxe to operate correctly, you must have the
following enabled (i.e. checked) in the Extensions Manager:
Multiple Users Control Panel
Multiple Users Extension
All of the Security extensions (I think these are the correct
ones, but I'm on 10.0.4, so these may be OSX specific--Security
cert Module, Security Library, Security Manager, Security policy
module, and Security storage module)
After I enabled these (you don't have to USE them, they just have
to be enabled) my freezing problems went away. Now as to WHY
they need to be enabled to keep Stuffit from freezing, there was
no explanation for that in the post I read.
Maybe this will help.
