I've got a quirky thing going with my site and it seems to all be coming from the Administration Menu Module.
It seems that any time I install Administration Menu 1.x I eventually begin having a bug where my messages and Errors etc. are not removed from cache and continue showing up until I log out and login again. I find the administration menu very helpful but the problems it causes seem to out weight it's usefulness.
Yesterday I tried the 3.x version and it totally crashed my system and I had to rebuild my whole database from a backup. The system wouldn't even let me login to turn off the module and none of my menus loaded. After I rebuilt my database I returned to the 1.5 version since I figured a working buggy version was better than no version.
Has anyone else had problems with this module hosing their database and menu display? Does anyone else seem to be having trouble with there messages and errors constantly displaying and never disappearing just stacking up a huge list of messages when the Administration Menu is active?

Nope, and none of the things you mentioned can be caused by admin_menu.

That doesn't really answer any questions as to why turning on these modules crashes my system.

I am having problems with admin menu as well (6.x-1.5). (D6.14)
Error messages a mile long above the page display, in the page display and a shorter (by comparison) list in the footer. Sometimes no page display, just error messages.
Clearing caches doesn't get rid of it. Turning off admin menu module does, mostly. Sometimes I have to turn off other modules as well - I haven't pinned down any particular combination. (I first try is turning of admin menu, if that doesn't work turn off others.)
I have discovered how to turn a module off when you can't actually get into your site:
Using PHP MyAdmin, go to the system table, and set the status for Admin menu to 0.
I am on a shared server, so not sure about memory limits.
