Oh good.  There now in line for a thrashing...

#75144

I've deleted the following in this order, run the program a few times, 
producing crashes and then moved on:

1) subdir: ~/Library/Caches/Unison 2/

2) subdir: ~/Library/Caches/com.panic.Unison2/

3) files: ~/Library/Preferences/com.panic.Unison2.plist cousins

	There were 3 or 4 files like the one above except they have random 
letters after plist (e.g. ".eZr9xl" and the like), including one with a 
lockfile extension.  Killed all of them.

4) ~/Library/Preferences/com.panic.Unison2.plist

That's where I am now.  I have yet to start meddling with this one or 
its contents:

5) ~/Library/Application Support/com.panic.Unison2/

No issue with 5.  I just erased everything and cleared the trash. 
Re-started with no issues.

Repeat the entire process without re-starting the app between steps.

Re-install the s/w if you can.

(I just did all of them.  Didn't lose the settings or the group list 
either ... can't find where they're buried offhand).

Current Status:

Deleted the following in this order:

1) ~/Library/Caches/Unison 2/

2) ~/Library/Caches/com.panic.Unison2/

3) ~/Library/Preferences/com.panic.Unison2.plist cousins

	There are also 3 or 4 files like the one above except they have random 
letters after plist, including one named ...plist.lockfile.

4) ~/Library/Preferences/com.panic.Unison2.plist

4a) Just found this one:
	~/Library/Application Support/Unison_2
	~/Library/Application Support/Unison (roadrunner)

5) ~/Library/Application Support/com.panic.Unison2/
	Went in here and deleted all .db files.  Restarted Unison2 and 
hand-entered my preferred 4-5 newsgroups.

Additionally I went to a year-old back up via Time-Machine and go the 
version of Unison2 that I used then.

The program continues to operate this way: I run it, it crashes and 
spits out a display of the crash-guts.  Then I run the program again, 
it gives me an option so send an email to the developer, I hit escape, 
enter the program and things run fine throughout the session.

The next time I attempt to run the program, it dies anew.

I note that when I run the program all my preferences for server, font 
size, etc, including probably 150 different "rules" (including flags, 
killfiles, etc.) remain in place. I do have so much filtering/ruling, 
I'm wondering if the nit isn't in there somewhere.  Unfortunately I've 
not been able to figure out where they are kept, nor server settings 
either.

I tried Unison 2.2 and quickly tossed it when it wouldn't download 
anything.  I'm running 2.1.  YOu'll need to pirate it in order to run it 
unless you already have a 2.1 serial #.

I tossed it because it crashed frequently.

I have a 2.1 serial and that's the Unison version I'm trying to get 
going again: 2.1.10.  I've used it successfully since it came out.  I 
gave 2.2 another try just two weeks ago after discussions here.  It 
crashed, I removed it and put 2.1.10 back in place.  Now 2.1.10 crashes 
*every other* time that I start it.

I assume I've developed some corruption in some resource or other.  I 
have an email into Panic in the hopes that they can give me a full list 
of where Unison hides its resources.

All I can say is that I'm running Unison 2.2 under Yosemite 10.10.4 and 
I'm experiencing no problems whatsoever.

I'm too lazy to re-read the thread but did you nuke (AppCleaner) Unison 
and re-install it.  (Do you have the .dmg?).

I just got word from Panic that the above files are their total 
resource locations, though I've yet to verify that nothing is actually 
stored within the app itself.

Still the most notable info provided was this: "the one missing part is 
after deleting them all you’ll need to restart your Mac afterwards. The 
more recent versions of OS X have been aggressively caching this type 
of data."

In all attemptes to use 2.2 I simply swapped out the program and ran 
it.  Maybe it would have been wiser to swap, reboot and then run 2.2.

For *whatever reason*, at this point I'm running 2.2, have re-entered 
my favorite usegroups, reloaded all headers and then marked them all as 
read and it seems stable. Wonder of wonders--I'd never gotten 2.2 to 
work properly.

Just a few weeks ago I was asking about caches and TWICE since then it 
seems caches have been the source of some kind of issue.

So things went okay with 2.2 for a while, but every time I went from 
one newsgroup to the next I would watch the little whirligig at the 
bottom of the display spin and wait 2-8 seconds while it assesed things 
and then displayed the 4 new messages.  2.1 never acted that way.

Then it began the same crashing with the same error: SIGSERV and 
exception type of SEGV_MAPERR.

Note that all my killfile "rules", my server info, my personalities, et 
al had remained with 2.2.  So now I initated a new version of 2.1 and 
found that here, inexplicably, they were all gone.  Fine; better to 
start clean.

Everything works as always 2.1, it's not slow between newsgroups.  
Eventually I started putting in my killfiles again, whittling them down 
from hundreds to scores.  Then 2.1 began crashing.  I turned off the 
newly added killfiles.  So far--no crashing.

This week's conclusion: There is something about the "rules" entries 
that have issues.  Note that I hand re-entered the various rules, none 
of them particularly complex. So it's not like it's a modified 
file--wherever the hell it may reside, which I still haven't figured 
out, nor did Panic's cserv crew tell me.

Maybe there's implementation of regex has a memory leak.  I only have 5 
rules because Unison's killfile filters suck so badly.  2.1 works just 
fine for me.  But my main reader is MTNW, so I'm stuck on 10.8 for how.  
Hogwasher just released a 10.10-compatible version, so I'll see if their 
older release is any good before I migrate off of MTNW.

If so, you'd think I'd have encountered it some time over the past 3 
years or so.

Yes--turn off all of your "rules" (filters, killfiles), or delete them. 
 The memory crashes will go away.

How you can begin to use "rules" again, I can't say.
