After how long? It did fine here on 18 megs of logs - over 750 hours 
of playtime. (well, it was mostly one 500k log, just recopied about 
60 times) Perhaps there is a particular rule that crashes it?

If not, i dont think its a showstopper crash - even 18 megs of logs 
takes a long time to scan with the 68k build. If it only happens if 
you scan 90 megs of logs, then we can say "dont scan 90 megs of logs, 
it will take all day anyway". :) Can you do it in parts?

I'll give scribia a go on my trusty centris 610..

By the way, VERY USEFUL thing that someone could do would be to make 
a FAT Suite Logfile - (functional acceptance test in QA-speak) which 
satisfies each rule in Scribia.l at least once and fills in 
everything in the GUI for testing. Maybe Cygnus would like to do 
that? Basically a logfile which has at least "one of everything" in 
it. And all variants of each thing. (3 different types of departs, 
for example)

Ack. USB works fine in macsbug on newer macs.  I know, i use it all 
day at work. :)
You are kinda running a monster over there :)

Cool. I should upgrade to the hot-pepper version, but i got annoyed 
about the adware thing.

Dunno about the carbon crashing business, as i dont have an OSX 
machine to test. Might have to wait till next month unless someone 
else knows how to debug with OSX.
