So, I am now regularly getting crashes in Aperture 2. My old iMac has been running Aperture for over a year with no crashes at al. This is new behavior with my new iMac that has the ATI 4850. It starts with strange graphics glitches that look like colored lines running across the screen, see full size photo above. These are usually off green in color and usually run horizontally. The can be from an inch or two long to the width of the whole photo. These will appear only in some photos, not all. After a while of that it is only a matter of time before the whole machine freezes and you have to power off. Doing this while editing photo is causing me Aperture database corruption which, while so far has not caused a loss of photos, does take forever to rebuild the database. Not good for trying to get any work done.

According to the Apple Insider: "Apple may already be aware of the issue. Some of those calling the company's support line have heard from technicians that there are numerous reports and that a fix is in the works, possibly arriving along with the looming Mac OS X 10.5.7 update. Some are being offered replacement systems after unsuccessful troubleshooting."
