Repeatable LabVIEW crashes on Mac

Question

Confounded by this new problem.
Platform: Mac OSX 10.6.5 (this problem first cropped up while I was using 10.6.4 - I had previously no problems with 10.6.4)
LabVIEW 2010
I cannot suddenly open any instrument subVIs (subVIs created by me open fine) without crashing LabVIEW. It does not matter when the VI was created. I just cannot open the subVIs. I was able to, only last week (and before that).
Solved!

Answer 1

Same here, update from 10.6.4 to 10.6.5 and then every time I open a VI a 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)
