One way to get more information is to add -verbose and -stderr flags to the startup prefs. In a working copy of Pd, open up the "Path..." prefs, and check on "verbose". Then in the "Startup..." perfs, add "- stderr" to the startup flags. Now start it from the command line and you should get more info.
A crash dump is a bunch of info that you can get when Mac OS X puts up the Crash Reporter window.

Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: pd-extended Group: v0.39.2 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: stffn (stffn) Assigned to: Hans-Christoph Steiner (eighthave) Summary: IntelMac Autobuild, Don't start: Segmentation fault
Initial Comment: The autobuilds of Pd-extended 0.39.2 for intel mac from 30th of Nov. to 3rd of Dec all dont start but return "Segmentation fault" (on Macbook).
This might make the tracker item #1595768 obsolete, since a new "error" ocurs.

I'd like to provide more info. But I don't know what you mean by 'crash dump'.
I tested them by running ./path/to/Contents/MacOS/pd-date-info from the terminal which just returned "Segmentation fault". gdb was no help, sine there were no porcess to attach - i think thats the reason, it didn't give any usefull output anyways.

Can you give more info? Like a crash dump?
