It's hard to tell, a few ideas to try:

[1] First, try all of the examples one by one, and see
which ones crash. Perhaps these crashes are actually
sfront bugs, which are the result of being not strictly
ANSI C compliant in some way which wasn't caught on
UNIX and Windows.

[2] Each example has a SASL file, that contains an
"end" statement. By changing the end time to be small
(say, 2 or 3 seconds) you can make small output files
of just the beginning of the piece. This may be a good
way to figure out if a problem is due to a piece creating
an AIFF file that is just too big, or if it is a problem
of the working space of the sa.c file being too big for
its alloted space by MacOS, or if its an sfront bug.
