getting a malloc_error_break when running an example

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. after compiling the code it crashes giving an error in the popup about 
libusb-1.0.0.dylib plug-in
and in the processing compiler it says:

java(1345,0xacb702c0) malloc: *** error for object 0x1d0676d4: incorrect 
checksum for freed object - object was probably modified after being freed.
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I see the correct image it crashes

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I am working on Mac os 10.7.4 and Processing 2.0

Please provide any additional information below.
I think it maight be something with the versions of macport, but i'm not sure
Thanks in advance for the help

I am getting the same issue. I have built OpenNI from the current instable 
source.

apparently it's the Kinect that you are using that makes the difference.
 If you have an old Kinect (for Xbox 360) it should work, but if you are using the kinect for windows then...i am testing that just now.

ok after three days of tinkering I found out the problem to be the model number 
of the kinect. It's not a kinect4windows but a new xbox model: 1473. A friend 
and I are working on a solution.

Same issue here, model 1473. I work in my MacBook Air with OSX 10.8.3. 

Did you find any solution for this? 

I can run the examples for a few seconds, but seems like it lost connection 
every few seconds or something like that. 
Thank you!

I bought a new xbox360 (model 1473) and I get the same error. Any suggestion ? 
I use a mac OSX 10.6.8.

I'm also having the same issue with the 2nd Kinect sensor I bought just the 
other day. It's model 1473 and I bought it stand alone. I have another sensor 
that is incredibly difficult to access as it is wired through my entertainment 
center which is hard-bolted on the wall. Has anyone found a working solution? 
Everything works fine if you run it on Windows but on OS X it crashes after a 
few seconds.

I also get errors when trying to open the Kinect from the openFrameworks 
ofxKinect plugin. Could this also be related?

It's exactly the same for me : The 1473 works fine with Microsoft (Windows 7) 
but not with Mac OSX. Using OpenNi and Nite exemples crash after few seconds. I 
haven't find any solution for the moment.

I've been researching on the open Frameworks ofxKinect project page. Apparently 
there's a change in the hardware that requires different driver support. I 
don't know which drivers OpenNI are based on but it seems the OSX version of 
openNI is a couple of point revisions behind the Windows/Linux version. I'm 
wondering if it's just a matter of finding the latest openNI source and 
building it for Mac.

The only solution I found was to use a 1414 kinect instead of a 1473 model on 
Mac OSX.

I have found mine on Priceminister. Don't forget to ask for the model before 
buying it.

I got the 1414 working with OS X 10.8.4, but everytime I run any example in 
processing appears:

************
SimpleOpenNI Version 1.96
Invalid memory access of location 0x0 eip=0x193c81ec

And a popup saying that the app close while it was using libusb-1.0.0 .dylib.

Any idea?  Thanks!!!!

Hey, I've got the same problem! Does anyone knows how to fix this problem:

Even a example file of SimpleOpenNI does not work anymore. I've updated my 
Macbook to version 10.8.5. And I'm using a kinect 1414. 

Could not run the sketch (Target VM failed to initialize).
Make sure that you haven't set the maximum available memory too high.
