limewire is the only software caused a total system crash
not only limewire crashes - the whole system is down (1 crash in 1-2 hours -> this is to much
i hope you fix it with the update - untill than i have to search for alternative - sorry

What? Two crashes with Mac OSX? And the JRE for Mac OSX was believed to be so incredibly stable! Maybe you should rather wait for Sun to make an update or update your system to a real *n*x system..

you are aptly named, taliban

I'm also getting this crash, about once per 2 hours of use.

so far (15-20 crashes worth of sample space) Limewire has always died when it was in the background, or when the machine was not being used for at least 20 minutes. This, along with the fact that I think only high level event handling is what is dying (itunes continues to play, shell processes continue to run, etc) leads me to wildly surmise that the bug is an event queue overflowing.Somewhere. So, the crash requires a hard reboot, because keyboard and click events are subsequently ignored. The mouse pointer continues to update, but all other graphics updating ceases (including, for example, the CPUMonitor graph)

When Limewire crashes in the background, things remain more or less usable for a while as long as you stay away from the dock. But you can't get a top or ps in the shell -- they just never return. As soon as you click on the limewire icon in the dock, everything freezes.

There might be a leak in 2.3, and I've been noticing that eventually (more often now, that I'm using the latest cvs-code) LimeWire's cpu usage goes up to 100%. - My computer keeps running, since LimeWire's processes don't have a high priority. Maybe that's what crashes your system. - And I still say, get a real *n*x, my linux doesn't crash.
