Hi Paul,

Yes, that one I'm aware of -- it should be fixed in 1.1.2b3 and 
newer. If not, I'd like to know about it.

What's happening is that video digitizer is getting loaded in 
coreaudiod (where it has no business getting loaded) and crashes 
because there's no graphic context.

I added a check to prevent the 'vdig' from loading in a daemon awhile 
ago but then added some preferences code the re-triggered it (because 
CFPreferences aren't available in a daemon either).

-Steve
