Can anyone tell me if it is normal behavior for some rev. 6 cpu's to run that hot?

Yes, I have a few and they can run warm. The difference between the Rev 1 and Rev 6 is a maximum of 5C in my testing. The Rev 1 can easily approach 60C at 50MHz, especially in a desktop case. (Of course, YMMV due to ambient temps and other factors.)
A heatsink might help with the crashing, if that doesn't cure it I would try adding juice to the floppy port and replace the motherboard caps (esp if you have a C= manufactured board). Then it should be rock-solid.
