mongodb fails to start

[jabronson@…]

I've had mongodb 1.6.4_0 installed since it was made available and it just started segfaulting on startup: ​http://paste.pocoo.org/show/300104/ Not sure how to tell what's going on. Attaching an Instruments trace in case it helps.

The 64-bit mongod binary from ​http://fastdl.mongodb.org/osx/mongodb-osx-x86_64-1.6.4.tgz does not exhibit this behavior:

Could this have something to do with boost?

Does this still happen with 1.8.3?

I haven't been using Mongo for anything for some time now so I'm no longer the best person to test. Feel free to close; if someone reproduces they can reopen.

mongodb in MacPorts is now at version 2.0.1. I can't reproduce this problem.
