I don't have a reproducible crash here, but I do have a crash pack generated after the following events:

- Max Crashed (That may be because of a feedback loop with live.param~ but I'm not sure)

- When trying to quit Live, it wouldn't let me. It said "There is not enough memory, please save and quit."
I got the message when trying to save or quit. So I had to Force Quit to get out of it.

- When reloading Live, it displayed a message telling me my preferences were corrupted.

- It then generated a crash pack.

Crash pack sent to mfl-beta@ableton.com

Live 8.0.1b6 / Max 40387 / Mac Mini C2D 1.83 / 2GB Ram

I had the same issue

Maybe you ate all your disk space? Any start of Live is creating a folder for eventual bug reports. You have to delete them by hand. Its eating gigabytes for breakfast, lunch and dinner and every crash is eating more. Very annoying...
Look into ~/Library/Application Support/Ableton/Bug Reporting/
I would love to see some automatic cleansing from Live. Why isn't this stored in a common temporary folder which would be deleted at least after a restart of the system?
Don't know if this is related to your problem, but I have seen other applications creating corrupt preferences because of missing disk space (makes sense, how could it save if there is no space...)

No, the massage is related to RAM, not to disc space. It could be that something needs a lot of RAM and/or the virtual memory is not configured properly. Anyway, the preferences should not get corrupted from a Force Quit.

As regards the bug reports, they should be deleted automatically after some time. I'll have a look if there is a problem there.

I guess they are only needed to create the Live_Run packs after a crash or force quit. The procedure which creates the pack could (should) delete all bug folders after its done its magic...
