But your bosses have to be the most parsimonious people in publishing... 10.2??? That's five years old! Therefore your hardware has to be at least that old. That's about the same length of time since I've seen a Kernel Panic. How much RAM are you running?
Have you turned on the auto-backup in your software?
Auto back up is me hitting save frequently. One of the people working with me turned on the auto-save and it slowed the computer down way too much. He turned it off.
