Signal 4 is an illegal instruction (you can look this up with `kill -l'). On Linux systems that'll most commonly be due to inappropriate processor optimisations - like the use of SSE on a system that lacks SSE CPU extensions. If the same is true on Mac OS X, then it'd be helpful to know what hardware you're running on - G3, G4, G5, approximate age, etc. > At the time > I didn't have time to document it (didn't know how to either), > but was wondering if there might be a crash log lying around > somewhere that would be of use. I think there is one generated for Aqua applications, but I don't know if it is for POSIX/X11 apps. From memory crash dumps for Aqua apps are in one of the logs that you can access through the Console application, but I'm really not sure - I've only worked with Mac OS X relatively minimally and it was a while since I was working on Scribus in it. For POSIX/X11 apps, you probably have to do something like fire up gdb on a core file, unless it prints out the crash to stderr. I guess it might still log it though, so still try the Console. -- Craig Ringer
