Snow logout crash #17

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Running RMCL under Snow Leopard suffers occasional logout crashes. That is,
unexpectedly the system logs out and back in again (Window Server crash)
with no apps running.  Apparently a rosetta bug in MacOS 10.6.  Maybe
impossible for RMCL to avoid as due to some problem the system has with PPC
apps (plus maybe keyboard interaction).  But in case anyone finds a
workaround or preventive measure, please report.

etc.

Maybe Apple Bug ID# 6465069 (I cannot find this).

According to the referenced discussion, this issue also affects applications 
like Excel, FileMaker Pro, and 
Photoshop CS on Snow Leopard. Reports to Apple can be posted at:

Yes, seems any busy PPC app can suffer this.
Remedies so far sound more like witchcraft.
My bug report sent to Apple (and fingers crossed).

Mac OS X v10.6.2 Update notes say:
"... including fixes for:
an issue that might cause your system to logout unexpectedly ..."
No idea what this is yet, but let's hope a magic Rosetta bullet.

In lieu of comments from others, I think this issue can be downgraded.  Suffice 
it to
say, it seems to be fixed by the 10.6.2 update, but will be outstanding for any
running earlier versions.
I have moved to low priority in hope that this better represents the issue 
status as
we stand.
