One standard possibility to make /usr/bin/install crash is to limit your stacksize to something like 1 MB. People who were around at the time of MacOSX 10.1 or earlier sometimes have or the bash equivalent ulimit -s 1000 in their shell startup scripts, because at that time the default was 512 kB (now 8 MB). Check your limits with "limit -s" (tcsh) or "ulimit -s" (bash). This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
