Thanks for this..... this couldn't have been a more mind boggling problem... I was beginning to flirt with the idea of reinstalling leopard because i couldn't find a solution to this. After recreating my preferences and running the disk utility I thought all was lost. This is really lame of apple to have that big of a loop hole and no reference of a fix on their site. You saved another persons day.

Ha! I'm so glad i found this when i Googled "leopard dock crash". I had the exact same problem and trashing it from the the downloads folder restored the Dock immediately. Great.

I think i know where the problem may start. Leopard usually renders JPGs fine right? But when i edit one of my lil Canon pix in Lightroom, like changing color and metadata and then Save it in LR, the resulting JPG becomes a Leopard-crasher. If you even point to it in my Finder it crashes it, much less place it in the Downloads folder (which probably shows up in your's and my dock).

Craappy, but thanks!

I'd have to agree. I placed MkConsole (http://www.mulle-kybernetik.com/software/MkCons...) on my desktop to keep an eye on logs as they happen. Leopard seems to spew errors compared to Tiger.
You'd be amazing by the amount of invalid image errors and calls to depreciated libraries.
External hard-disks also seem to generate huge amounts of warnings on Leopard. Its like a beta rushed to a deadline.
