I will disable InputManagers and try WebKit again (sorry if I was unclear about
this), but I haven't done that yet. Regarding your first comment, however,
despite my huge sympathy for the WebKit team (as my writings about it clearly
indicate), that's a big cop-out that won't help WebKit in the long run. If
popularly used Safari plugins cause WebKit to crash, but not Safari, the fault
from the user's perspective is clearly with WebKit.  To point the finger at
plugin makers doesn't help the main problem: WebKit won't run.  in the past,
when SIMBL plugin AcidSearch caused WebKit to crash, I wrote to the developer
of both SIMBL and AcidSearch, but ultimately had to stop using both of those
plugins.  That's not going to go over well with the Safari user base in the
long run.

I'll write back when I have a chance to test WebKit without the plugins.  In
the meantime, I'll post some of the crash log.
