Syd, any hope in Hell of getting me a stack trace to figure this out?  (I can't
find Matiskella or I would give it to him.)

I just remember a similar bug that was resolved yesterday. Should we re-open bug
15687 and marked this a dup???

Updating cc: list.

Okay, first off, the mac build script CommercialBuildList.pm is _completely_
broken. The BuildDist() function is broken, and doesn't variablize the
directory into which resources need to be installed. That means this: in a
debug build, you get one set of resources. In an opt build, you get a different
set.

amusil has changes in his tree to fix this. alex, can you please check those
in?

Once we do that, we might actually have  a chance of seeing the crash in a
debug build.

OK - I checked in the fix.  10.8.99, 4:22PM.

You will now crash in the debug build as well. :-)
