I had a similar problem (except that my computers would often freeze even
when the applet was quit manually or by the OS upon shut down).
Unfortunately, this email is not going to shed much helpful light on the
situation except to say that the folks at AppleScript picked up my post on
this list and ran it through their QA people. Since they couldn't reproduce
the problem, they told me to sit tight until 9.1 became available.
About the only help I can offer is that there seems to be a lower incidence
of crashes upon quitting a stay-open applet if the Finder is the only other
application running (but it would still crash from time to time).

I have no problem with quitting a stay open app with other applications
running. I created it to do its thing while different browsers were running,
then clean up and quit when I had finished with the browsers. I did include a
quit handler in the stay open app, so don't know if that has made any
difference. Works on both internal and external quit commands .. Jim
on quit
tell application "Finder"
tell application "whatevername" to continue quit me
end tell
end quit
