I'll add it to the bug list. Haven't seen this one before. It sounds almost like what Windows users report, when they have memory issues trying to do animations. It could be a case of excessive page-outs after a long session (several days or weeks on-time) when you ran other apps, then finally ran Poser. This is a characteristic of Unix (a memory management technique dating back 30 years, that ignores the existence of machines with 2, 4 or 8 GB of RAM) that is apparently only fixable by restarting. My first-aid in those cases is to restart from Diskwarrior, rebuild, then restart from HD and repair permissions, which might have been damaged, hence the generic file. Also, unplug all non-Apple hardware (i.e. USB or firewire devices) to see if they are causing problems.
