This isn't quite fair. The preference file in question is managed purely by
the OS, and it seems to be an OS bug that is causing its corruption and not
handling that gracefully. IE is just using the Internet Config APIs. Also,
I should mention that Apple has added standard preference APIs to the
System, and if those APIs are not robust, you can expect lots of apps to
crash with invalid prefs.
