"crash" is about as helpful as "it's broken!".  Are core files
generated?  Are there any error messages?  Does the machine
instantaneously reboot?  Hard-freeze?  You also might want to try
running the programs under a debugger.

4.6 to 4.10 is a pretty big jump.  Altogether, it'd probably be best
to tar up your configuration files, clean-install 4.10 (or 5.3 for
that matter) and manually merge your changes in, consulting any
documentation available for the 4.6 -> 4.7, 4.7 -> 4.8, 4.8 -> 4.9,
and 4.9 -> 4.10 upgrades to make sure you get your config files
updated properly.
