Bart Silverstrim was quoted as saying

Sorry if I missed it, but is he *certain* that those bugs are limited entirely to the hackintoshes? Hacked macs have been floating around awhile, and this is the first someone's brought it up on the list as a source of crashes?
Not saying it's impossible, just that it may be something to consider.

I completely agree with you, it could well be a problem with my code, it wouldn't be the first time and nor will it be the last time. Its just that at the moment I have 4 reports of the same error and they all come from these fake Macs... Evidence suggests that something fishy is going on hacked Macs, especially as there is no guarantee that the hardware is compatible with the software.

The reason why Apple clamped down on the clones was the poor reliability of them. I worked in a print shop at the time, our boss bought a whole bunch of motorola jobbies. They all ended up being returned and replaced with real Apple hardware, they were just too unreliable.

Have a Great Week :)
