Safari 2.0.4 for Mac -- Hangs when closing tab -- Must force quit

Question

I've had this problem with safari from 10.4.6 to 10.4.9, from what I can tell. It has also reared it's head on my macbook and my iMac(intel).
It typically happens when I have a number of tabs open and I go to close my current tab. It will hang. It also commonly happens when the page viewed has some sort of multi media on it. like youtube. I've enabled debug tools for safari and completely wiped out all plugins and reinstalled the usual, flash, flip4mac and there is the built-in apple quicktime and java.
Here's a part of the sample from activity monitor at time of crash.

300 -[WebHTMLView viewWillMoveToHostWindow:]

I don't know how to open another account on
this computer,
Hi nwguitar, Welcome to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
The following is from MacHelp:
Adding a new user account to your computer
You can create individual user accounts for each person who uses your computer. Each new user has a separate home folder and can adjust his or her own preferences without affecting other users.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Accounts.
If some settings are dimmed, click the lock icon and type an administrator name and password.
Click Add and type the user's name.
If you don't want to use the short name generated automatically, type a new short name. (Once the account is created, you won't be able to change the short name.)
Type the user's password in the Password and Verify boxes.
Type a hint to help the user remember the password if they have trouble remembering it at login.
Click Parental Controls and select options to determine what the user can do with the computer.
If you change your mind while you're creating a new user account, click Delete to cancel.
