There is a project to work through this for Linux, which when finished should easily port to the Mac.
As far as the crashes go, there is a fix that had legal issues that have been worked around that should be in 2.0.4. I was the release authority for 2.0.3 and yes, Base was seriously broken, but it did not work at all for 2.0.2 or earlier. With 2.0.4, Base should be fully functional with the exception of MS Access files.
