There are multiple crashing bugs in Webkit in 64-bit. I simply compiled the MiniBrowser example (see /Developer/Examples/WebKit/MiniBrowser on your hard disk, and compile it in 64-bit). Many web sites will crash the Webkit framework: try for example, http://www.apple.com. I compiled the MiniBrowser sample as a x86_64 binary, it's available here: http://www.osirix-viewer.com/MiniBrowser.zip (it's a x86_64 only binary). The WebKit framework is distributed as a 32-bit and 64-bit binary under MacOS. It allows us to use it in 64-bit application for built-in web access. That's great, but.... it seems very unstable under 64-bit (ppc and Intel). Please don't forget to test and debug the 64-bit version of WebKit. Safari isn't a 64-bit application, but many 64-bit applications will probably rely on the WebKit framework.
