Topic: Bitcoin-QT crashes when any bitcoin.conf file exists (Read 909 times)
I found the cause of the problem. bitcoin.conf was a rich-text file. TextEdit tends to save files in rich-text format. After I changed it to plain text format, problem is solved.
Well, what are those "Problem Details"?
The problem details are shown by the Mac OSX as it does with any other application that crashes. It contains a lot of system data. I don't know if some of it opens up my system to hackers, especially the "threads" and "binary images", by publishing it to the public. Below is the "problem details" but I removed some of the data, especially the "threads" and "binary images". Have you been able to debug these crashes on a Mac by looking at this data? If so, let me know if you need the "threads" and "binary images" and I'll research into whether this data is sensitive/private or not and then I'll send it you.
However, if you have a Mac, you should be able to reproduce this problem, as others have, by launching Bitcoin-QT with the bitcoin.conf file in your Library/Application Support/Bitcoin folder. When you reproduce the problem, your Mac will show you your "Problem Details".
Thanks.

Well, what are those "Problem Details"?
I am running Bitcoin-QT v0.8.6 on my Mac OSX 10.6.8.
If I do not have the bitcoin.conf file in the Library/Application Support/Bitcoin folder, then Bitcoin-QT will launch successfully. However, if I do have the bitcoin.conf file, even if it is empty or if all of the lines are commented out, Bitcoin-QT will not launch. Instead, the Mac shows a pop-up that states: "Bitcoin-QT quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. This report will be sent to Apple automatically. Problem Details and System Configuration data"
If I rename or delete the bitcoin.conf file, then Bitcoin-QT launches successfully.
Does anyone have any idea of how to fix this or get past this?
