bitcoin-qt 0.8.5 on my mac book pro crashes EVERYTIME I open it. I have to rebuild the data base whenever I want to use the program.
I've tried the "checklevel=2" fix and it doesnt work.
rebuilding the DB takes several hours and the computer runs REALLY hot while its doing it.
Try using one of the test builds that have been made in an attempt to fix this:

Posted my results into that thread. Thanks for the pointer!
