I was having some weird problems with crashes when the machine was
inactive - ie. I had left for a while and when I came back the screen
was frozen and all I could do was reboot. The crashes were new in that
I hadn't been experiencing them the whole time so I started thinking
about new INITs. I finally shut off something called LaunchINIT, which
keeps a logfile of all the applications that are run, when they are
run, and how long they run for. Since shutting that one off, I haven't
had any problems. Seems strange that AD and LaunchINIT would conflict,
but as far as I can tell that was the problem. It's ambiguous because
I couldn't replicate the AD crashes at will - they just happened every
few hours or so randomly. 

Moral of the story. It's worth checking out other INITs before
immediately blaming AD.
