2.9 Freeze on OSX

[Thomas McGrath III]

Mark,

I also suspected USBOverdrive and now I have narrowed down the iKey  
and Xkeys as contributing factors. Since both of these are used for I/ 
O - USB - Serial connections that might be a factor since the save  
checks I/O devices and since some devices are connected over USB. I  
don't know but right now with both USBOverdrive and iKeys uninstalled  
and removed from my Login Items I have not had a crash for the first  
time since 2.9 came out.

I will keep testing over the next few days to see if this is indeed  
where the problem lies.

Thanks for hanging in there and your feedback.

Tom McGrath

P.S. Tell Hans he is not alone. :-)
