However, I think that Stroller is on the right track.  Whenever an  
application starts quitting unexpectedly in OS X, the problem is most  
often caused by a corrupted user preferences file.  The problem is  
figuring out which one.

OS X 10.4 ordinarly handles this automatically.  When Safari crashes,  
don't you get a dialog box asking you if you want to reopen Safari?   
Doing so via the dialog box will nuke the permissions file for Safari  
and that might fix the problem.

I would also try:
