This comment is indicative of something more seriously wrong with your 
setup. It would have been helpful to make this comment earlier.

As has been mentioned many hundreds of times on this list, Mac OS X is 
not supposed to crash *at all.* As in *ever.*

If you're experiencing a system crash more than once every few years, 
you have a serious problem somewhere in your setup that really should 
be corrected, using the usual troubleshooting techniques to isolate 
where the problem occurs. The last time I had a system failure was back 
in the Public Beta days. While I've had a few issues with various 
aspects of the system since then (all of them self-induced, such as 
turning off fonts that the system needs by accident) like anybody else, 
as far as system stability goes OS X is a quantum leap above all other 
consumer OSes.

Richard Clarke has testified to his statements under oath to the 9/11 
Commission.
Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rice all refuse to do the same.
Nuff said.
