[mythtv-users] Mac OSX Fronted Crashes?

[Michael Jones]

I kind of guessed that ('cause it says it right in the log ;-)  )

I think the issue is that I didn't build this.. I downloaded it from one of
the links on Matthew Mead's site in the "daily compile" section. I would
assume it's built from the latest (which could be the problem since my
backend isn't the *absolute" latest itself..
http://willamette.edu/~gkruse/myth

I figured that when the one Matthew built worked the other would too.. Wrong
figuring?
