Installing Safari Beta 3.0.3 brings several problems as is to be
expected.
If you run MSN Messenger with Safari Beta installed you cannot close
a conversation window without the program crashing. Yes, I know I can
use Adium or a similar app . . .
There are also some problems navigating to pages that want to open
PDF files. Also, some websites cause problems. Try http://
www.drudgereport.com - this will often cause Safari to crash. You
will get a message telling you this is unexpected but you now know
better.
