// Maya exited with status 1

How can it be avoided at the OS level. I am using opensuse 10 and 10.1 (both 64 bit) which runs Maya 8.5 (64 bit). Maya crashes intermittently with the above 2 errors. With no control over the application source code, how can the error be resolved at OS level ?

Thanks in advance for assistance.
