Hi Jason,
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).
Sorry I can't be more helpful. Let me know if you discover anything useful.
Cheers,
Jed

This applet does not have an implied quit handler. Should I build one and

how or does anyone have any other ideas.
