Things aren't going so well, Ruslan. I'm getting dozens of reports of
databases that don't work. They have this in common:

1. All on MacOS X.

2. New database works fine. But at some point after adding records
and otherwise manipulating the data it crashes when they try to (a)
edit a record, (b) import a record, or (c) delete a record. The exact
thing that precipitates a crash varies among these.

3. Make a new database and transfer records -> the new db is OK (In
some cases, dump/load seems to correct it).

In my hands, after working with a database for 30 minutes or so, the
same thing happens to me. I have not been able to pin down any
specific thing that does this (although I'm sure there is). It's hard
to find, because in my case it becomes apparent mostly when I try to
delete a record and crash.

I'm trying to collect databases for you. At this time, I have a small
one that I think has corrupted blob data in some records. I'll send
it to you off list.

This is now, by far, the MAJOR issue my users have with the app. If
it's not stable on X, they'll trash it (and if they bought it, ask
for their money back).

I'll do whatever I can to help you track this down. But it is a BIG problem.

Thanks,

Jon
