Probably because...

No, it's caused by upgraded binaries. 5.x is really unstable with MiNT,
atleast if you attempt to print anything. I have 5.02 on my Falcon, and I
can tell you that it's not nearly as stable as 4.12. I can live with it on
the Falcon though, because...

a) I have a Nova on it, so Nova-VDI does most of the job.
b) I don't have a printer (well, I do, but I never used it so I put it in
the basement and forgot about it).

It was so horrible on my TT that I reinstalled 4.12 after two weeks. Haven't
had a problem since.
