In the three body problem, only two of the Lagrange points are stable, and those only when the ratio of masses of the two larger bodies is small enough. Usually one expects that, when an equilibrium changes from stable to unstable in response to variation of some parameter, this crossover occurs because the potential has changed from a maximum to a minimum. Exactly at the crossover point the linear term vanishes, so the force is dominated by the nonlinear terms. Thus such crossovers are excellent regions to search for chaos. However, the crossover from stability to instability at the Lagrange point L5 has a completely different origin. In this situation, is the crossover from stability to instability still fertile ground in the search for chaos? This is the question that this thesis answers.
