Reaktor 5 problematic with Snow Leopard
Today I updated my main music making Mac to OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard. I'd been intending to wait for 10.6.1 but I got seduced and.. well I'm weak.
So far SL has been good and I've had no real problems. Logic 9.0 is running fine, most of my instruments seem okay however notable during the forced rescan were two auvaltool crashes on Reaktor 5 and Reaktor 5 FX.
Here's a summary of the damage:
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x0000000000000008

I have a ticket filed with NI support and it will be interesting to see how long it takes them to respond. I've also opened up a thread on the Reaktor technical issues forum. Please post if you have anything to add.
