Dick,

I trashed the apps again, as well as the preferences file you  
mentioned and installed a fresh copy.  It still crashes at the same  
point.  This happens whether I have a Cabrillo or ADIF file to sign.   
I also tried creating an ADIF file with tqsl and it still quits at  
the point where the file should be saved.

I'm stumped by this one.  The Linux version never gave me any  
headaches once I found an installable package (I wasn't successful  
when trying to compile it on either system).  After I bought my Mac I  
moved the Linux box to my shack and can use that to sign the files,  
so at least I am still able to  upload logs to LOTW.

The one file I was able to sign was an ADIF, not Cabrillo, so I can't  
help with that problem.
