I truly believe Safari’s crash behavioral pattern has so many sources, that it became quite random.
For example, while 5.0 did crash quite frequently on me, 5.0.1 appeared to be much more stable, as for 5.0.2, I think I had one crash only since it was released. Apple’s just getting back to the blocker bugs, they’ve been busy with the new features and, apparently, ignored the old and buggy ones.
