i completely have the same problem. it doesn't matter how many applications are open, nor how much memory is allocated to limeware: i have given limeware 100mb, and with only finder (and i guess the fiddly little things that don't show up on the right of the menu bar) running, the apple click always crashes limeware. it is easy to avoid: minimize limeware, click on finder's desktop, and then go to apple.

the apple click of death also removes folder access from the apple menu! (ie. it gets rid of the little triangle on folders, like control panels, that open into sub-menus).

any, this feels like a bug to me.

for the record: mine is a brand new ibook (g3/500?)/256mB/20gB/OS9.1.

thanks
