Synergy 3.5a6 crashes...

    I just reported this as http://wincent.dev/issues/672

    It's no big deal, as I usually am letting itunes just play. the downside is that last.fm/audioscrobbler reporting stops.

    I haven't looked at your report yet (will do that shortly) but I did find out something very interesting last night while reading the cocoa-dev mailing list. The cause of basically all the crashes in the 3.5 alpha (caused by NSAppleScript under Leopard's new Garbage Collection) turns out to be a known issue which Apple "intends to fix in an update".

    Unfortunately they can't provide a timeline for this — although obviously I am hoping that it comes very soon — so my current recommendation is to go back to the stable 3.2 release which is feature-equivalent to 3.5, and most importantly, totally stable because it doesn't run under Garbage Collection.

    See bug #640 for more details, including links to the posts by the Apple employee about the NSAppleScript problem.

    Ah, forgot to add that you can still get the 3.2 release from the download page:
