Hey!
Since I update the new version I had two kernel panics.

Is it just me?

Thank you

    Hello, this would be very unusual for an application to panic the kernel. If it happens several times in a row, the first things I would check are: 1) newly installed kernel extensions, if any, 2) the file system (use Disk Utility or fsck in single user mode), and 3) hardware, like bad RAM or a failing hard drive (use Apple Hardware Test, found on install CDs/DVDs that came with the Mac).

    Hello & thank you for the swift reply,

    Yes, I thought to be unusual for an application to panic the kernel too,

    but then I found this:

    Isolate hardware or software as the cause of the kernel panic

    on the Apple website.

    For now I've zapped the PRAM, let's see how it goes,

    thank you!

    Hi,
    I also had 2 kernel panics since I updated 31.2.0.
    TFF also crashes sometimes and gets really slow, much slower than the version before.
    For the moment, I returned to 31.1.1.

    Hi Joachim,
    interesting to know,

    Although in my case I am pretty sure - now - it was a hardware issue (bad, bad, memory)
