4GB MACBOOK PRO BRAND NEW: SL IS THE ONLY PROGRAM THAT CRASHES: SEVERAL TIMES
I have one of the best MAC laptops on the market. I only crash with Secondlife. I receive 1crash per 30mins if i use like normal.
I can be simply standing in one place and the program crashes while chatting with people.
I dont mind a PROGRAM crashing, but this freezes the whole computer.
I have submitted all information about my computer and crashlogs.

VWR-7779[c]: Mac viewer suffers from cyclic pauses/freezes/fatal hangs ...
STATUS: We continue to investigate this issue on some Mac hardware. For problematic MB Pros w/ the 8600 graphics card, we have also disabled Object-Object Occlusion and Avatar Imposters in the 1.21 Release Candidate, which seems to help in some circumstances for that hardware.
Temporary Changes:
We have enabled some special debugging checks during the Release Candidate cycle. These have a short term effect of causing the viewer to crash more when something goes wrong, but it assists Linden Lab to improve stability by identifying those failure cases. We appreciate that you send us crash reports that occur!
These extra checks WILL be removed in a later iteration of the Release Candidate. But these can be turned off by a Resident at any time:
Turned on Thread monitoring (Watchdog) during the Release Candidate cycle
o Thread monitor will detect when the application is frozen for a period greater than 20 seconds and possibly force a crash with detailed logs
o Thread monitor can be disabled by choosing to never report crashes, or with a command line setting "--set WatchdogEnabled 0"
o The threshold timing of the thread monitor is set in the file \SecondLifeReleaseCandidate\app_settings\settings.xml under the key "MainloopTimeoutDefault"
Thank you for continuing to send your crash reports, they are VERY helpful to the LL developers.
