Fix for iMovie '08 (7.0.1) kernel panics/crashes: Update or uninstall Little Snitch
We continue to report on an issue where iMovie '08 causes a kernel panic or crashes outright (unexpectedly quits) shortly after launching. Previously noted fixes including deleting various plist files, reverting to iMovie 7.0, removing third-party QuickTime components and more.
It now appears that this issue can, in some cases, be resolved by updating to the latest version of Little Snitch -- a generally useful tool designed to alert you on outgoing network connections. Failing that, you can try uninstalling Little Snitch altogether. In order to do this, download and launch the the Little Snitch installer application and choose the option "uninstall".
