Not specifically, but when I reinstalled 2.6.1 it created a new prefs 
file and still crashed with this stack. This is too weird. The problem 
is only on this machine with this stack. The same copy of 2.6.1 made a 
standalone from a new test stack without any problem. The "problem" 
stack also builds okay on other Macs running 2.6.1 and with other 
versions of Rev on this Mac. And it built okay in 2.6.1 last Monday.

This is hair-pulling stuff. Meanwhile I'm glad I have the Powerbook.
