Stan,

I have seen many crashes of scribus, but yours are new :-)

Did you build scribus while the same version of xorg was installed? Which version of xorg?

I have tried repairing permissions, single-user boot w/ fsck, reinstalling Scribus, rm -r the ~/.scribus directory, reinstalling xorg all with out success.

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Crash report upon attempting a new document:

EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS (0x0001) at 0xfd85b400

Thread 2 Crashed:
0    Dispatch + 636 (crt.c:355)
1    main + 1472 (crt.c:355)
2    -[XServer run] + 120 (crt.c:355)
3    forkThreadForFunction + 108
4    _pthread_body + 96

(XDarwin quits)

From what you are saying it seems that it worked at first and now you cannot even create a new document, right? If this is so, then *something* must be different between the time when it worked and now. It is difficult to see from the distance what this difference could be. Since you also tried removing the ~/.scribus directory, it cannot really be anything directly coming from scribus, because scribus is the same then and now. Also, this first crash happens inside xorg, so it might be an xorg bug.

Crash report when attempting to open an existing document:

EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE (0x0002) at 0x0031fa88

(XDarwin remains open, xwindows apps seem to run normally)

This crash is inside scribus allright, so it could also be worthwhile to file this on the scribus bug tracker, together with the source of your document, and perhaps a complete crash log with the list of loaded libraries.

Instead of further fishing in the dark, I'll just quote I don't remember who: "If a DTP program crashes, in 99% of all cases the reason is a bad font". So you could also empty your ~/.fonts directory and scrutinize the contents of your ~/Library/Fonts directory and see if this changes anything.
