Hi Christian,

I had the same problem a month ago, and first the procedure found here :

http://www.exelisvis.com/Support/HelpArticleDetail/ArticleId /4698/IDL-8-1-Workbench-crashing-on-Mac-OS-X-10-7-2-and-10-7 -3.aspx

wasn't working. But it's was because I didn't apply it in the good directory (bin.darwin.i386 instead of bin.darwin.x86_64).

I don't know If you already tried to do the procedure in both directories ?

Vincent
