transmission quit unexpectedly

[connorc]

i get this message every time when i shut down transmission. it has been happening both on leopard and snow leopard for a long time (must be over 5 months). always using an up to date version of the program.

any idea what could be causing this ? i do have a lot of torrents seeding, however even when i pause the torrents and then shut down it seems to cause the error message from apple.

i could copy and paste the crash report if it is safe to do so.

ta,

connor

Connor,

Where are you getting this nightly build? It appears to have the debugging information stripped out.

This appears to be the cause, but all the filenames and function names have been stripped out, leaving only these (unhelpful) hex addressess...

[connorc]

well i don't usually use the nightly build. i will investigate. i'm getting this information from the "send crash report to apple" screen.

[connorc]

is this any better

Well... what you'd be looking for is the part that says "Thread N Crashed", and after that there's usually a section that shows the files, function names, and line numbers of what was going on before the crash. But in your crash reports, for some reason, this info is missing:

All this really says is that it crashed... somewhere.

The nightly builds should have the extra debugging information, so again, where did you get that post-1.75 build?

[connorc]

the nightly from the transmission site (the reason i was using it was to see if the bug i am experiencing was present), however that second code paste is from the normal stable release which i have reverted back to.

here is a pastebin containing the actual log file contents found in library>crash reports. beyond that i'm not sure what else i can do as i'm not super technical.
