Is anyone finding their applications crashing a lot in 10.5?d

I must say that Safari crashes maybe a dozen times a day, Mail a few times, iTunes crashes randomly, and occasionally, I have to restart the Finder. This Leopard upgrade has rendered my Mac more buggy than any computer I've ever owned.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5)

My experience is almost the same except that it occurred when I was running Tiger. Now that I have Leopard, it has been rock solid.

I believe that this was due to a hardware problem I had with my (then new) MBP when I installed Tiger for the first time: that it had corrupted some file somewhere, not enough to require a complete rebuild, but enough to cause a fairly wide range of apps to crash (typically 1 or 2 a day).

When I got leopard, I did a fresh install so that nothing was carried over, and I've had no problems since.

Was yours an upgrade from Tiger or is it a clean install?
