I noticed the backtrace= was in GC a few times. But I can=92t reproduce the problem reliably= (or really at all anymore). There as a time a few months ago when i= t was much easier for me to reproduce it. It would happen after an h= our or so of use.

I experienced the problem more when I was on 10.8. Do you have the backtraces somewhere that you can post? If not, please do so the next time you see such problems. It is important fo= r us to know whether your GC crashes are similar to those reported by others. Thanks.
