3 thoughts:

 1. Have you tried increasing the stack size?  (That won't cure the
  80000005 guru). 

 2. Have you got the latest (public) release, version 1.0?  I've run
  that 2 or 3 times without any serious problems.

 3. Which version options did you install? Vn1.0 offers you two main
  options - running on only 2Mb memory, or running with more; and a
  sub-option to use "large" or "small" fonts (I think it is).
  My choice (over 2Mb, large) refused to run at all. I discovered it
  was looking for CGTimes.font and CGTimes.otag, which I didn't have.
  Those files were not in my WB3.0 distribution, but I found them on
  floppy & installed them in fonts:  As soon as I got Aweb running, I
  changed the fonts prefs to something sensible.

What I do get is a corruption of my graphics.  A pic will come in ok and
look nice for half a second, then sort of "crumble" into a horrible grainy
effect.  It's only some that do that.  Not done anything about it yet, but
I'm thinking about things like what else is running, and how much stack I
have.
