If you are running any OS version prior to 10.11 (El Captain) you can open Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility), hi-light your startup volume in the left panel, and click the button for "repair permissions".

If you are running 10.11, Apple has taken that functionality out of Disk Utility, and repairing permissions must be done by alternate means.
The first way is to open up the Terminal program (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal) and type in the following command :
Quote:
sudo /usr/libexec/repair_packages --repair --standard-pkgs --volume /
you will be asked to enter your password.
The second way which is a bit easier, is to download the awesome freeware program Onyx (http://www.titanium.free.fr/onyx.html ) which provides a simple front end for running the many terminal commands.
Launch Onyx (which will ask for your password) , and under the Maintenance tab select repair permissions.

I'm not 100% certain that these kind of crashes, that you guys are describing are permissions related, but there is no harm in trying this.
Like I said before, the PG support guys would be the ones to talk to directly about this kind of thing.


Hopefully this helps.
