Leopard Crashathon Continues

The latest update of Mac OS X, i.e., version 10.5.1 is apparently the most unstable releases I ever experienced. It all started with syslogd taking up too much CPU cycles. Each time I restart my MacBookPro, the first thing I do is to stop syslogd by issuing sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.syslogd.plist from a terminal. But that did not stop rest of applications crashing occasionally. I am now seeing crashes with Safari, Firefox, IntelliJ etc. After a few application crashes, the OS crashes sometimes. I may have upgraded to 10.5.1 too soon!
