Sorry this isn't going to answer your question, but I am anxiously waiting to hear what others have to say about it. I don't know if it is related, but a similar thing used to happen when I tried to access the LDAP directory on my Eudora Internet Mail Server from Address Book on my B&W G3. I posed the problem to a couple of other lists, but got no takers. I have gone through a couple of system updates since the original problem, so I tried it again a couple of days ago. This time it didn't crash, but it still can't find the LDAP directory. Like you, I can get addresses from Address Book just fine.
