So here are the facts:

I'm running a Macbook Pro Mid 2010
Operating System version 10.8.4 (latest version all updates installed).
Memory  8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Processor  2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512 MB

I've been running Bitcoin-Qt without issues since version 0.7.1
I made the upgrade to 0.8.1 when it was released.
I made the upgrade to 0.8.2 when it was released.
I made the upgrade to 0.8.3 just recently when it was released.

When I try and open Bitcoin-Qt 0.8.3 or any of the older versions I've got on my computer, the program spends a few moments "verifying blocks" then "loading wallet", and then I get the following error message.

"Bitcoin-Qt quit unexpectedly" followed by the Crash Report. A few lines from the crash report below.

Exception Type:  EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT)

Application Specific Information:

______
And so forth.

I've got my computer backed up, so if I can navigate how to properly transfer the wallet files to another Bitcoin client than that is an option, however I'd like to get my Bitcoin-Qt up and running again.

Any suggestions, tips, or tricks would be very much appreciated.
