.81 Crash after install of Tiger (Fixed, just report)

[DJWhatTheBleep]

After I installed Tiger yesterday, every time I would start up adium, it would crash immediately.

After restarting, deleting preferences, checking other users (which worked fine), and monitoring Adium's steps through Console and Acitivity Monitor, I discovered the problem.

The last file that Adium opened before it crashed was the following file

~/ApplicationSupport/AddressBook/AddressBook.data

The console put out some sort of error referring to AddressBook:

2005-05-06 15:42:04.975 Adium[321] *** Assertion failure in -[ABInfo nts_SetValue:forProperty:recordCouldBeInDatabase:], Framework/AddressBook/ABRecord.m:497


I moved that specific file outside of its folder and on to the desktop, and now Adium works fine.

I haven't figured out the consequences of not having that file in the correct place (it probably won't have any of my AddressBook data now ) but I fixed it.

There probably needs to be a fix to this.

Thanks.

Add:

It also fixed a very similar problem with Colloquy.

you can put the file back and just restart, everything should be corrected by that
