Peek-a-Boo Commentary2.8.2 fixes OS X 10.4 "Tiger" issues - Version: 2.8.2, 10/8/2009 11:23AM PST

I see a couple comments about how 2.8.1 broke on many OS X 10.4 Tiger systems. We've rushed out version 2.8.2 to address these issues.

If 2.8.1 was crashing on your Tiger system, give 2.8.2 a try. ("Now with 99.44% less crashing!")

Under Tiger, when this version is launched, it never completes--beachball spins forever. Have to force quit.

Looks to be an 64 bit issue. Running Mac OS X 10.4.11 on iMac G5.
