Four out of your last five crash reports were in the Flash plug-in,  
and the fifth crash (this evening) was in JavaScript.  On the NeXT,  
none of those crashes were possible because we had neither Flash nor  
JavaScript.

The JavaScript crash happened when it was executing one of its window  
timers; the Flash crashes all happened when we simply gave it a chance  
to run (i.e., when we're sending it a "null" event).  None of that  
code is ours, sadly, or it would be a lot easier for us to fix.   
Still, anything you remember (even something as simple as "OmniWeb  
crashed while I wasn't at the keyboard, but I think I might have had  
three youtube tabs open") might help us reproduce the crash here--and  
if we can reproduce the crash we might be able to find some way to  
avoid it (even when the crash isn't in our code).
