I haven't had this Safari vs Keychain problem since version 10.2.x of OS
X, so at least the problem should be avoidable. The question is how
exactly in yor situation with the machines you use.

I've been having Keychain problems with my G3 Dual-USB iBook for a few
weeks now and let me tell you...it is gigantic pain in the rear.

This is a really complex problem and there's no way to reduce it to a
simple answer.

My problem is connected with Safari and Keychain.  Launch Safari, go to
any Apple site, Safari crashes and the Keychain won't function unless I
restart.  Everything then runs fine until I launch Safari again and it
repeats all over again.

Go to Apple.com > Support tab > Discussion tab > and do a search for
Keychain in the Discussion groups.  You'll get tons of info...sadly, no one,
even Apple, seems to have come up with a solution to date.

An example of one post follows.

Good luck,
bob
