The only time I ever had a bad address error is when I had a bad RAM
chip.
MemTest is a shareware app that does a great job of detecting bad
RAM. I highly recommend it.
Barring that, am I right in thinking that you have 2 X 2 GB chips?
Try removing one and see if it crashes. Then try the other one.

This is a surprise, since it was working yesterday. Well, not
entirely true, I guess, since I did get this message once in a
while but a restart of the application always worked.
I'm on FMac2008.r2
OSX 10.4.10
Dual 2 GHz Power PC G5
4GB Ram
The first part of the error report looks like this:

Of course, it follows with 25 or 30 threads of similar looking
stuff, all of which means nothing to me. I get the splash screen
and it looks like the crash happens when the startup gets to the
point of initializing midi. I'll give MM tech a call tomorrow, but
I'm curious to know any ideas from the list.
Worked last time I used it. Since then, I've defraged the drive
where my documents/projects are kept, but that's not where the apps
are. Can't think of anything else I might have done to upset
things. I reinstalled an HP printer driver after deleting the old
one. Printer seems to work fine.
I restarted a few times. Shut down and restarted after a few
minutes rest. Repaired preferences and repeated the restart
series. Deleted Finale preferences and tried again. That's about
all I know to try.
