I posted a couple days ago about loosing all my prefrences. As it turned out the problem was caused by low disk space. Well I have everything back up and running now, but I am continuing to have problems with safari. IE still works perfectly.

First I reinstalled Safari. The problem still remained. This suggested to me the problem is not with Safari, but is made evident through Safari.

After watching my browser consistantly crash on certain websites I suspected the problem had something with java. So I turned off java and all the crashing was over. I then turned it on but left JavaScript off... no problem... I turned JavaScript on and BOOM there is the problem. I went through and deleted any .plist file that had anything to do with java. No deal. The problem remains.

As I understand it, the root of my problems are related to the java implimentation on OS X. Of course I have no idea what the hell I am talking about so... who knows. I am including a part on the crash log from safari in hopes someone can tell me where the problem is and how to fix it. If there is any other information that would be helpful... tell me what you need

and how to get it.

Thanks as always

I'm not in the know on this, but when you reinstalled Safari, did you clear out your preferences and other data files? Often problems with an application that arise from low-disk space situations are due to corrupted preference files or the like.

Looks like bad memory to me.

Thanks for the suggestion. I ran tech tool and everything tested out as ok. I don't think memory is the problem. I was thinking it might be a wierd permission error, but I fixed them all and it was a no go.

I did remove any prefrence files before reinstall.

ahhh... one other bit of information... These problems are only affecting my girlfriends account. Not mine.

Thanks much

<edit> typo you

LOL. What a strange typo. Hope I don't get you in trouble

<edit> typo you

If it happened all over the place, I would agree with K++ that it might be a memory error, but you saying it only happens on my (I mean your

) girlfriend's account and this string in the log,

#0 0x9017fe08 in CFPropertyListCreateFromStream
#1 0x97e54644 in +[NSPropertyListSerialization propertyListFromData:mutabilityOption:format:error
Description:]

make me think it's probably a corrupt plist file, and one in your girlfriend's directory at that. If you go into her home directory and go to the Library and then the Preferences directories and delete the com.apple.Safari.plist file, it might be ok again.

However, I'm only guessing. That a corrupt plist file causes a kernel crash is new to me.

If it really doesn't work after that, save her data, delete the account and make a new one, I would think.

I am pretty sure now that the problem is with java 1.4.1. I think this because IE is still working fine and I have heard that IE still uses the old version of Java by default. I downloaded the Java 1.4.1 update from apple and tried to reinstall it, but it says that a newer version is already on the machine and it won't install. Can anyone think of a way to install this? Would it be safe to log in as root and delete Java so I can install it again? I looked for any preference files but did not see any. Are the preferences in something other than a .plist for java?

At this point I am about to take the suggestion to just make a new user, but I just feel like there has to be a cleaner way to solve the problem

Thanks for the help... hope all your girlfriends are well

theolein · Oct 8, 2003, 01:31 PM

The crash log you posted has a dump from the WebFoundation, which is the core of Safari. This has nothing to do with Java. It can't really be that the problem is with the webfoundation itself as it works in your user profile, and specifically mentions an error while reading a plist. I would go ahead and make a new user, I think, and at the same time send the error to apple with the bug feedback feature in Safari (just in case it really is a WebFoundation problem)
