I pretty consistently get a kernel panic on boot if I have DoubleCommand installed and I change anything in my kernel setup. e.g. If I add a new kext, then I get a panic. I got a panic this morning rebooting after the recent software update. If I uninstall and then re-install then everything is fine until the next time...
Here is the stack trace that the OS gave me once I got my machine to boot again:

and same for me. I don't run doublecommand anymore because of this. and I miss is greatly. when I told michael about it on 3/7 he said he's had so few reports of crashes that he can't track it down. I sent two followups to him in march and april and haven't heard anything. very frustrating.

DoubleCommand automatically disables itself after causing a kernel panic, so resetting the PRAM probably didn't have any effect, and DC was turned off so wasn't working. Some people find that the kext changes involved with system updates cause a once only panic - I'm not sure why, but usually if you remove the DoubleCommand.crashed from /Library/StartupItems/DoubleCommand and restart again you're back to normal.
This doesn't help if you're having frequent panics without updating any kernel related software. Sorry.

I have a similar problem. My FW800 locks up at random intervals, often after coming out of sleep, after using the mouse. The crash log is almost identical to yours. Doing some research, I was able to piece together a potential cause. My current theory is that there is a conflict between DoubleCommand and the IO driver built in to OSX 10.4 that allows you to swap the modifier keys (via the system preferences >mouse and keyboard pane.) On waking, or at other times, these two keyboard driver conflict, leading to a kernel panic (I don't actually get a panic, I get a system freeze, most of the time.) As such, I was forced to remove DoubleCommand and switch to OSX's built in modifier key swap. So far no more freeze-ups, but time will tell. One problem with this is that USB Overdrive can't see that the keys are swapped, and thus have to swap them to their opposites there.

OK, spoke too soon. The issue is NOT DoubleCommand, as far as I can tell, but DOES have something to do with USB device input. There seems to be some routine that does something similar to sleep for the USB bus. After a period of inactivity, something about the USB bus times out. If I then use any USB device, the machine will half-freeze. Half-freeze? Well, key presses are not seen, mouse cursor will not move, but left mouse presses are acknowledged (WEIRD!) Menu clock stops, and some processes lock up, but others keep going (my EyeTV window keeps on playing TV in the window.
SO I am still trying to figure it all out. So now I need some sort of empirical data to support this hypothesis. In the meantime I have installed a little script that polls user input, and if I have not typed a key or moved the mouse in 5 minutes, it wiggles the mouse for me, thus stopping the machine from sleeping. We shall see….

Well, over three days now without a freeze up. This is the longest this machine has ever run continuously. Seems like it really is solved on my end. I am leaning toward blaming Apple for something on their end, seeing as how it did this after a fresh install on a zeroed drive. My guess is that DoubleCommand just conflicts with some bad code in the USB device family driver.

Yeah I get the same error here: My G4 Panics immediately after the white start-screen. Please (!) fix this error. I can't live without DC. I don't know why, but this error first occured after installing XCode 2.5 on Mac OS X 10.4.10. I tried everything (even a new installation of Mac OS X(!)) but nothing helps. Maybe I did install a newer Version of DC before installing XCode I can't remember anymore. So:
where can I download old versions (in particular v1.6.3) of DC?

same problem. Resetting the PRAM fixed the panic, but DC doesn't work when I finally get it booted.

I know that i can download it with svn, but i would wanna an installer bundle...
Just look in http://doublecommand.sourceforge.net/files/ - no release has been deleted, they are all there.
Cool. You should link that page on the Mainpage.
Now I don't need it anymore, because I downloaded via SVN.
BUT HERE'S THE SOLUTION FOR EVERyONE WITH PANICS ON BOOT:
Install version 1.6.3. Everything works like it should without any Problems (for me...)
For the Devs: you should update/fix the current build or at least advice them to install
an older version of DC.
But I'm happy now...IT worx! :D =D
