Finder repeatedly crashing.

I've developed an issue on one of my 10.4.11 servers where the Finder seems to be crashing every 2 to 4 minutes. My logs look like this:

I'm thinking I may need to re-apply Combo update 10.4.11, but thought I should get some input before I started getting crazy. Additionally, I'm not sure that it'll work with the Finder relaunching every 2 to 4 minutes.

The only services running on the box are AFP, FTP, Windows, and there's an apache web-app, and cumulus app, both of which seem to be running normally, even through Finder relaunching.

Any help or input that folks could lend would be really great.

Thanks!
