Replying to jovo@…:

As a workaround I downgraded to gkRellm 2.3.2, compiled from source ​ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-distfiles/ume/

	$ cd /Users/johan/Desktop/gkRellm/gkrellm-2.3.2
	$ gmake DESTDIR=/Users/johan/Desktop/gkrellm-2.3.2 darwin9
	$ gmake DESTDIR=/Users/johan/Desktop/gkrellm-2.3.2 install
	$ cd /Users/johan/Desktop/gkrellm-2.3.2/bin 
	$ ./gkrellm # ok, copied to /opt/local/gkrellm

The same problem has now been ​reported on the mailing list running on Lion. Was this problem ever reported to the developers of gkrellm?

FWIW it works fine for me on Snow Leopard x86_64.

I'm having the same symptoms as those reported on the mailing list--the crash log indicates that it hits the problem while iterating over the disks.

Should be fixed in commit 207a0519ac73290ba65b6e5f7446549a2a66f5d2 (see attachment or ​http://git.srcbox.net/gkrellm/commit/?id=207a0519ac73290ba65b6e5f7446549a2a66f5d2). Until 2.3.6 is out I'd recommend to add this as a patch to the MacPorts Portfile.

Btw, for forwarding such bugs to upstream please use the GKrellM mailinglist: gkrellm@…
