You started PM with 'open' in Terminal, right?  Did you see something
like this when it started launching:

malloc[371]: protecting edges
malloc[371]: recording stacks using standard recorder
malloc[371]: enabling scribbling to detect mods to free blocks

Could you copy and paste the error here?  It probably means that PM has a
memory-management related bug.

>plenty of RAM left on my TiBook800/1GB, and boot volume has 3+GB free

What OS are you using?

More likely that PM is doing something wrong.

You can't disable it once its launched.  To run without it, just launch
it from the Finder instead of from terminal.

Is there a pattern to when it crashes?  Are you typing? checking mail?
switching folders?
