yeah its really weird....

i get:

"the application pd quit unexpectedly"

then i can ignore or relaunch...

either choice PD still runs in the background. the "ignore" or "relaunch" seems to be only a nag screen that does not do anything... but at the same time creates the situation that make PD unusable...

anyone else with he same?

maybe its leopard thing?
