I've seen this as well, but only when using it across LocalTalk. When I
use FPMgr with Phase 2 EtherTalk as the selected interface, I get some
strange behavior, but never crashing. 

Make sure that both virtual memory and 32-bit addressing are both
disabled. The word I have from Shiva is that FPMgr doesn't deal well
with either. 

Hope this helps,
