OS X gives you the option to submit a report to Apple after an app crashes. The report contains stack traces and you can view the traces in the dialog box before sending. Every time Safari crashes for me (and for anyone else I know) it's within the Flash plugin.

What I've heard (and I don't have access to Apple's source records) is that most of these failures are when the plugin requests more memory, and the browser responds ungracefully. Flash just triggered it but didn't cause it.

But until Apple gets out there with clear and honest executive communication, it's hard to tell exactly what's going on.

(On the good side, Safari team has been permitted to communicate with the Player team, and some of these problems may be addressed. We're still seeking Apple Corps approval to decompress video off the CPU on their computers. It's their business decision to make.)
