LabVIEW crash on visa after updating to OSX 10.6.5

[ChS]

After updating from OSX 10.6.4 to 10.6.5, every time I open a VI or try to create a VISA resource name control , LabVIEW crashes. Both LV 2009 and 2010 exhibit the same behavior.

By looking at the crash log, it seems that nipal has some problems when loading libSystem.B.dylib.

I'll try to reinstall VISA and be back to you about the result.

(BTW, look at the funny way the editor interprets the crash log by replacing ": D" with smiley)

Booting the kernel in 32 bits solved the problem!

Lets hope for a quick release of a 64 bits version of Visa and of course the rest of NI products line!
