I'm getting frequent crashes from the 0.3.23 Mac OS X build.. when 0.3.21 had no problems.

Installed from the 'bitcoin-0.3.23-macosx.zip' file linked from bitcoin.org and available from Sourceforge:

Code:
$ shasum bitcoin-0.3.23-macosx.zip 
42e8a86a97edcafb12d09fa69b56ad0451baa140  bitcoin-0.3.23-macosx.zip

The internal 'about' dialog self-identifies as 'version 0.3.23-beta'.

No user action is associated with the crashes.. I come back to the computer and the app has died with a MacOS crash dialog. Some excerpts from that dialog for the most recent crash:

Code:

Memory access crashes in security-sensitive C code make me nervous.

Make sure you back up your wallet regularly! Unlike a bank account, nobody can help you if you lose access to your BTC.

yeah, I don't know what's up with the Mac client but it really doesn't work well (especially if you've got FileVault turned on)

it just slows down your computer to a crawl

The Mac client is simply not useable right now.  I haven't been able to send any transactions from it at all.  When I try to send bitcoins the client stops responding but Activity Monitor shows it using 100% CPU.  Sigh.

Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.
