I think I've found the reason for the majority of my crashes in 4.5 and Panther

Hi,

Just as a FYI, I've noticed that 90% of the (too frequent) crashes I'm 
getting with OW 4.5 and Panther are occurring with any newly opened 
windows and concurrent usage of Exposé - if I command or command shift 
click a link (or use the contextual menu equivalents), and then use 
Exposé before/during/immediately after the appearance of that window in 
the back or foreground, I tend to get a crash. The crash reporter log 
when it appears is always highlighted at a 
blah,blah,blah,OnMouseEvent,blah,blah,blah message...

Is anyone else noticing this? Perhaps I'm seeing it more frequently 
because I only have a low-end machine (400MHz G3 iMac) and thus the 
opening window is taking that little bit longer to appear than for 
people with higher end machines and I am therefore able to catch this 
Exposé flaw?

Cheers,

Jonathan
