Sorry for asking questions about an old version here, but for various reasons I'm working on a project that needs to stay in Max 6 for now. It's a rather large patch that has been crashing unpredictably, and the randomness of the crashes is making it hard for me know how to strip down the patch to track down the part that is crashing. The crash log always looks similar, so I hoped maybe someone here might be able to tell me where I should start looking. The top few items always have "com.apple.QuickTime 0x98ea8d81 frequentlyTaskMovies + 117" somewhere in it so I'm assuming it's something I'm doing wrong with jit.qt.movie.

Someone have a golden tip for me? Beers all around for any help.
