[PD] GEM pix_film crashing on OSX 10.5

I’ve been working trying to fix a Puredata patch that uses MIDI input from
an external device to control playback of 2 movies that are displayed in a
single GEM window. I have been able to get the patch working properly on my
own computer (a 2.53GHz MacBook Pro with OSX 10.6.3) but can’t get it to
work on the computer where the patch needs to run (a 1.66GHz MacMini with
OSX 10.5).

I’ve read through the forums and archives and based on the input I have
created several version of the patch (all of them have crashed on the
MacMini). I couldn’t find any instance of a bug report documenting this
issue so I decided to add it here.

I’ve posted my code, two different approaches each with the associated full
crash reports. In the first approach I use two separate Gemheads to control
the movies; in the second approach I use a single Gemhead to control both
movies.

Please note that the download is quite large (100MB). The reason being, I
have included videos in the zip files so that the application can run
properly. One more important note, you need to install pdmtl in order to run
the patch (as I use one of their abstractions in my patches).

Link to code and crash reports:

Any help is greatly appreciated.
