I read yesterday an interesting article on ArsTechnica about an issue with Yosemite:

http://arstechnica.com/apple/2015/01/why-dns-in-os-x-10-10-is-broken-and-what-you-can-do-to-fix-it/

It seems in Yosemite Apple changed the way DNS is handled. Now while many of the responders replied with the "Why fix what isn't broken" I suspect the issue is a temporary one created by Apple because the old way didn't allow them to do what they need to do in the future.

This doesn't help us much but it is a good read as to possibly why multi-client use could cause crashes.

In the interim I've found waiting for one client to connect and then loading the other client and letting that login seems to stop all the crashing on my system. I have a Early 2011 MBP with 6GB RAM and 1TB HDD. Seems fine for me at the moment.

I've definitely noticed a few strange anomalies if you try to simultaneously logon multiple clients.

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.
