Fatal signal 8 (Floating-point Exception) on Mac

[ProductArchitect]

I've had misc crashes (quit silently) with Red Eclipse lately. I removed everything except autoexec.cfg from ~/Library/Application Support/redeclipse ... which seemed to help (not sure).

Using Console.app, I can see the final error (Fatal signal 8 (Floating-point Exception) on Mac) but nothing useful before that. It was just 'bot was skewered' but there are lots of those that work. In case it matters: Mac OS X 10.6.8 on a 2008 MacBook with 6 GB RAM and built-in Intel graphics. It could be related to some commands I type ... but I'll but that in its own thread since I'm still curious about general debugging.

Is there a debug mode I could enable or some other trick?

Thanks.

Creating a debug build requires advanced knowledge of Xcode and the underlying build environments. It'd be useful to know what exactly you change to cause this, and what the actual specifications of your MacBook are. I run Snow Leopard myself on a late-2010 MacMini with no issues that I am aware of; though, I admit, I only do limited OSX testing because I am not that fond of the operating system itself, the MacMini is simply a build environment for me.

See http://support.apple.com/kb/SP5 for a list of MacBook's released in 2008.
