looks to me like a corrupt install, the only two ways that particular
line of code could fail is if NSBundle couldn't get a reference to the
bundle with the identifier com.growl.prefpanel (highly unlikely since
that's the bundle in the stack trace of the crashed thread.) or it
couldn't get a reference to GrowlHelperApp.app inside the prefpane
(more likely). In any event b3 will hopefully catch this and log to
console indicating 1. that your install is corrupt and you're going to
need to reinstall 2. the value of what the method got for the bundle
reference 3. the value the method got for the path to GrowlHelperApp.
i suspect for your particular install it will return a valid bundle
but the path to GHA will be nil.  Peter is hoping to have 1.2b3 out
tomorrow.
