Something else is up if BT can take down your whole OS...
One thing it does use a lot of is unallocated RAM, it unfortunately opens the
downloaded file such that accesses are cached, when its not a good idea. The
result is that as it scurries around the different pieces of the file putting
it together, all your RAM gets used. If you don't normally stress the
machine much, perhaps this RAM exercising is causing the crashes and the
problem lies with the RAM.
