I think this problem appears only on multi-processor systems. Quite a few people have reported crashes on OS X, and they all were on multi-processor macs.

As I only have a single processor PowerBook here, it is currently not possible for me to debug the problem. I will need to get my hands on a multi-processor machine and install XCode on it in order to find out more. Unfortunatelly, until then people will have to do the opposite to get Scriptographer working...

I just tried this on my PowerBook G4 and am having the same issue (though it seems to stay open almost until I can go to "New" from the file menu... but this is probably because it loads much more slowly). Are others running under 10.4.7 and CS2 12.0.1 successfully?

(fyi, I tried to download the CS1 version and got a bad disk image: could not validate and wouldn't mount)

Thanks.

I uploaded that DMG again. Could you please download and try again on CS?

The new image downloads correctly and works fine in Illustrator CS (11.0.0). Thanks very much! Any ideas as to what's up with the CS2 version on 10.4.7?

CS2 (12.0.,1) runs fine on 10.4.7 here, so at the moment I cannot say what's wrong on your system. I hope to get my hands on a system where this happens soon, so I can debug.

Thanks for your prompt work on all of this. Really amazing stuff. Could it just a corrupted file, somehow? Maybe a rebuild/reupload of the CS2 mac version dmg?

Removing APE (pretty sure I didn't have it installed to start with) didn't seem to help. Searched my crash logs and found this in the Java crash log. Maybe it'll help?

Man, I really want to get this running on CS2 for a project. Any ideas anyone?

It currently looks like it crashes on G5s. I haven't heard from a G5 where it would run... As I do not have one myself, it's difficult for me to find the problem.

Just a quick update, in case it helps: I now have the CS version working on my G5 (previously only the G4 laptop) but the CS2 version still doesn't want to let CS2 run without crashing.
