That's not the whole crash log. The stack trace for the crashed thread would be interesting.

What would be even more helpful is the patch (if possible, stripped-down).

If the patch is crashing immediately when it's opened, you'll need to hold down Shift and Command while the patch is opening (this pevents loadbang and loadmess objects from triggering).

Try tracking it down a bit - is it a particular file?

If you can figure out what it is and it still crashes in 6.1.3, send a report to support

Sorry, that was obviously a Windows crash log, not sure why I was thinking otherwise. So I guess you're stuck with plan B (stripping down your patch to try to localize the problem).

Although Andrew's suggestion of updating to 6.1.3 has many merits, if for some reason you can't do that, you would still have the option of posting the problem part of the patch here. There are other folks using 6.0.x, and you might get some feedback indicating whether it's an obscure bug in some object you're using or if there may be some system problem you're running up against. And some kind soul or other might be able to confirm whether the problem persists in 6.1.3.
