Teensyduino started crashing at start (Mac OS-X Yosemite)

[kig]

Getting this error in the /var/log/system.log:

For some reason starting last night my Teensyduino simply does not start at all. I've been using it before then without problems. I do not recall installing any system updates in between. Yesterday it was working, now it doesn't. I tried restarting too.

I searched for this weird error and starting mid-November there are lots of reports of this error across the internet. It's this error that other people are reporting with lots of other applications.

WARNING: The Gestalt selector gestaltSystemVersion is returning 10.9.1 instead of 10.10.1. Use NSProcessInfo's operatingSystemVersion property to get correct system version number.

Here is a full stack trace in system.log.... Any idea what may have changed? Can it be recompiled for Yosemite 10.10.1? I can't upload anything right now

Any idea what may have changed?

Not really, but I do know Arduino has experienced issues lately with Java 6 vs Java 7, only on Macs. Maybe it's related to Java versions?

Some reports are saying that the source code needs to change to use the new API to get system version.... Is that an easy change to try?

If you can either point me in the direction of source, or compile a version of me that uses operatingSystemVersion() instead of gestaltSystemVersion(), I can try it and see if it fixes the problem?

OK this is super weird.

I rebooted my Mac twice, and on the second time, for whatever reason, it is now working and starts like before, and I just uploaded a sketch.

Phew! Still wonder what the hell that was.....
