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: externals Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Luke Iannini (lukeiannini) Assigned to: Guenter Geiger (ggeiger) Summary: Shell "crashes" on OS X Leopard
Initial Comment: Not sure if this is Leopard (10.5.0) specific since I only just started using [shell]. After a command completes, about 20 seconds pass and then OS X reports that "Pd quit unexpectedly" – but Pd seems to continue running just fine.
Attaching a repro (just [ls( - [shell] ) as well as the crashlog.

I looked into this a bit - this is printed to the console when it crashes: __THE_PROCESS_HAS_FORKED_AND_YOU_CANNOT_USE_THIS_COREFOUNDATION_FUNCTIONALITY___YOU_MUST_EXEC__()
I found this quote on the apple support forums: " This is caused by programs that use the fork() or daemon() function in combination with higher-level APIs. In Leopard you cannot use the CoreFoundation (CF...) APIs on the child side of a fork() without following it with an exec*() function. This has always been true, but Leopard is much more stingy about this kind of thing.
To solve this issue, uninstall all third-party drivers and system customizers, then reinstall them with the latest versions, and make sure those versions have been updated for Leopard. Any drivers and background software that use CF but haven't been updated for Leopard will continue to output these messages, even though they may function fine. "
I guess the system() call doesn't count?
