I find it very strange you get this problem. As nobody else has reported it. there must be something wrong with your configuration. The hang seems to occur in getting the font for the group table headers. There is a vulnerability in the code that should be fixed for the next release, but that does not seem to be your problem, as it should only occur when you are using certain fonts, and you are using the default system font. Have you used BibDesk before, and did you change any (preference) settings?
