I have this problem whit PS CS4... Every time when I use example: Mask or crop tool application hangs! It just hangs and whole system is down until I reboot it!

All other bigger applications works just fine (i.e Cinema 4D).

My system is:

Distro: iPC OSx86 10.5.6 (latest)

Field Note #1 @lanceomni 2009-03-05

It could be related to using 4GB of memory. Try booking with

maxmem=2048 

to limit OSX to 2GB of memory and try to get it to freeze. If that works then let me know and ill explain some of the fixes available. There are a few 64bit modified kexts that correct this issue.

Is it a total system freeze? mouse audio & apps?
