I don't see a crash in those log entries. The cube animation happens
concurrently with the new login so it's normal for it to get stuck then
abort due to VM paging. Switch back and forth without running anything
else and it will probably be smooth.

Get used to the Console warnings about uncaught exceptions and
malloc/free abuse. The PowerPC version of 10.5.8 isn't maintained very
well.

Interesting comment. Last week I added some User Agent plists and the
first login of the day (after a system restart) was giving all sorts of
timeouts (on PowerPC version 10.5.8).

I had to hit the off switch, which in turn resulted in Time Machine
doing deep traversals.

I have to wonder if this isn't an issue in one of the more recent
software updates (10.5.8 or 10.5.7 perhaps). He said it only started
happening quite recently, and I installed system updates to his machine
remotely not long ago. Hmmm...
