Corrupt Keychain entries can cause Safari crashes

My Safari 1.1.1 kept crashing when I wanted to access any secure website via the https protocol. Other user accounts on the same computer didn't experience that problem. After some digging, I discovered that if I removed my keychain file from ~/Library/Keychains, the problem disappeared -- meaning that the problem was in the keychain file. Eventually, by trial and error, I found the entry that caused Safari to crash, removed it, and all was back to normal again.

Caused me quite a headache to solve this so I thought submitting this to the other readers might save someone similar aggravations.
