Second Life maintenance complete… new fun bugs for MacOSX First Look client

SL maintenance complete and my First Look client now crashes pretty much constantly (every ten minutes or so). Am I surprised? Not really. Apparently something is going on where my client tries to load some gestures… These gestures never load. Ever. Really couldn’t tell you what the gestures are either since I can’t seem to find the stupid things.

In any case, so as you can see… there’s some gestures trying to load. No clue what it is or what the deal is with it. There’s no way to actually kill them or disable those particular gestures either.

So after about five to ten minutes, your client blows up. Just dies. Kaput. Blam. Pop. Boom. nyah, nyah nyah nyah….. Batman! Oh wait.

Reproducible? Definitely. Just take a look at what happens right before it dies. What the heck is this?

And I seriously doubt that these two fixes should have messed with gestures:

• VWR-830 Muting Residents and\or Objects does not work reliably
  
• MISC-157 Searching for groups fails with certain keywords

At least I would hope it wouldn’t. Stupid bugs. Argh! At least so far, the linux client seems to more stable than the MacOSX First Look client. Either way, it’s definitely crazy coincidental that the maintenance window ends and these issues begin. Hate seeing this, and usually you don’t see it often in MacOSX applications at all but when the name “Second Life” is attached to the app, then this seems to be a pretty regular occurrence. Bleh. Guess I’ll just wait for a patch via rolling reboot.
