Thanks for the feedback. This shoots my theory that it was happening only on specific hardware. But it's definitely related to 10.1.4 since it started showing up the same week the update came out.
Also, I just posted 1.097 which contains an experimental workaround for the kernel panic. The problem appears to be related to multi-threaded serial IO. So in 1.097 if Tonto detects a Mac OS, it drops back to scanning ports one at a time. This might add a couple of seconds to the "Locate Pronto" routine, but if it avoids the panics it's worth it. If any brave souls experiencing the panics wishes to try it out, please let me know. The cut/paste issue looks to be another bug in Swing. I'm trying to track it down now and see if there are any workarounds. I hope to get this working for 1.098. Do you have a recommendation for alternatives to PayPal?
