Some ideas:

There's a known problem, where if you run a program
from the ed editor and you hit control-c, it will usually crash
pretty bad. Solution: run any non-trivial programs directly
from the command line.

You can also see "Critical Error" when a program tries
to open a file that is locked by another program.
This sometimes happens when you run search.ex.
Usually nothing bad results from this.

If it's always the same program, send it to me and
I'll study it.

When something crashes it is a good idea to run
SCANDISK to immediately repair any file system
damage. If you don't clean things up right away,
you risk digging yourself in deeper and possibly
losing files.
