OS X 10.4.5 extras crash...

[Rich]

Using Celestia 1.4.1 and zooming in on the Atlantis space shuttle, ISS, and other 3DS models I've been using for years: When the view gets close enough to convert the object from a bright dot to a 3D model, Celestia pauses then crashes/quits. This seems to happen with most models I have had in my extras folder, like the set of "Real Spacecraft", incl. the nicely textured ISS model. It alomost seems like it runs out of memory at the point of showing the 3D models, as it doesn't seem to happen with the lower-overhead realatively small satellite models, or the "stock" ISS models shipped with Celestia...

Recent system changes are: upgrading to 10.4.5 and the latest security update ("SecUpd2006-001Ti").

The crash reporter gives me this data which I've paraphrased:

Thanks for any info/suggestions!!

I don't have a GeForce card nor have I installed 10.4.5 so can't really confirm this issue. On first glance, it looks like an issue with the GeForce video driver. FWIW, no one seems to have reported any similar issues on the Apple mailing lists (yet?).

Just my luck. ... kind of figured as such, judging by the views/response ratio on my post

It works fine on my G5 (which runs 10.4.5), tho, so all is not lost (don't have it's config handy at the moment).

Thanks dirkpitt,
