I had this problem quite a bit until I increased my RAM to ! Gig. I still get occasional crashes (usually when changing ensembles or trying to start two instances of Reaktor) but it's become much more stable with more RAM.

Reactor's GUI I think is a little unstable in OSX, it doesn't have problems with Live or Logic 7 if the plug window isn't open. It will occasionally crash when tweaking things though, and yeah I've had it crash by closing the left side browser menu as well.
Nothing to cry too much about, it doesn't happen all the time on my system, but I sort of instantly took up the habit of saving my work when opening the Reactor GUI.
Ahhhh NI, I love their stuff, but they are slugbait with the bug fixes....
