Adding a printer and libSystem.B.dylib

[Dsnentry]

Today when trying to add a printer on the network, I had a bit of a problem:
When I pushed the + to add a printer in the prefs, it would wait about 5 seconds before automatically closing the window. I tried over and over, including restarting and deleteing all start-up items. I couldn't find anything on the web so I started to do a little poking around. In the Crash Log this is what it game me for the given crash:

From what i get from this it looks like libSystem.B.dylib is giving the problem. I went to look for it but I couldn't find it anywhere (I might just be blind but I'm pretty sure it's not there). I am currently using 10.5.6 on a 2.53 GHZ macbook pro core 2 duo. It has 4 gigs of ram from Apple so I kind of doubt it's a memory issue. I would just do a system repair but my install disks are on the other side of the country. Please give any feedback and thanks for the help.

Did you try the usual reboot/repair permissions/verify (in disk utility). ?

 

[Dsnentry]

Yes I did, it still doesn't work, and these are the two crash logs it has given me now:

Thanks for the help

I'm having issues with libSystem.B.dylib as well. It is causing Illustrator to crash in increasing intervals since April and each month since the crashes appear to double! It might have to do with bad RAM too since I get either kernel invalid address or the kernel protection failure.
