namebench crashes when opening - OS X 10.5.8 MBP about namebench HOT 6 CLOSED

If you run Utilities/Console.app after a crash, do any messages from namebench 
show up?

Could you test version 1.0.4? If it crashes, can you also report on the output 
from 
the Console application? Thanks.

When I reported this it had happened to me 3 times in a row, however 20 minutes 
later I 
tried again (as I was about to reboot) and it worked. I don't see a way to 
close it, but it 
can be closed as I can no longer repro.

I have the same problem..   It just locks up upon starting.

Actually I take that back - after about 10 minutes a GUI window finally pops 
up.  Not
sure why it takes that long!

Thanks for the update! The long startup time is covered by:

The reasoning is that namebench reads the history files before it draws the UI, 
so that it 
knows what items to populate in the menu ahead of time. This is something that 
needs 
fixing.
