Have been using QuickSilver (b3815) for a while now on my MacBook Pro
(10.5.6), just recently experienced a QS crash and could no longer
start the application, even after a reboot.

Following the guide on 
http://groups.google.com/group/blacktree-quicksilver/web/faq
I was able to Quickly Reset Quicksilver Settings and was able to start
the application again, and with a little troubleshooting I was able to
track down the issue to:

~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/Shelves/
QSPasteboardHistory.qsshelf

My QuickSilver Clipboard history file was just shy of 1GB! (configured
to save last 50 clipboard states) I had been working with some large
image files in PhotoShop, multiple copy and paste operations of high
resolution photos seemed to cause the initial crash.

In summary, I quickly restored all my original settings and simply
deleted QSPasteboardHistory.qsshelf and my QS was back in action! I
have since turned off Clipboard feature in QS since I have not really
been using it, but figured I would share my success with this Group in
the event anyone else comes across this issue.
