WinSwitch 1.5 crashes SystemUIServer

  1. anonymous

    Upon clicking on the WinSwitch 1.5 icon in the Menu Bar the SystemUIServer crashes and relaunches. This happens consistently w/ both of the users I have established on this particular machine (other machines work fine). Here's some possibly relevant info from CrashReporter:

    OS Version: 10.3.5 (Build 7M34) Report Version: 2

    Let me know if you need the rest...

    Yes, send/show the rest of the crash report. There's not enough detail there to see where the crash is coming from. Probably best if you just email it to me.

    My suspicion is that Cocoa is somehow choking on one of the custom user icons (or a cached representation of it). If we can find out exactly where the exception is being raised, we can catch it and prevent it from bringing the process down.

    The fix would be to change your custom user icon, but then we wouldn't know where the crash is occurring, so probably best not to do that.

    Okay, the full log is headed your way...

    Win Switch 3.0b also crashes SystemUIServer. I'll mail you the log....

    You should probably read this bug report first. You may find that the issues already been fixed in the build linked to from that report.
