I was finally able to get the Macromedia apps to stop crashing on
launch, through the help of a few Macromedia engineers.
It turns out that setting certain environment variables in
~/.MacOSX/environment.plist
is the culprit.
I originally made entries for
CVS_RSH=""
and
VAR-1=""
to try out SSH agent, so that I would be able to use CVS from within
XCode and CodeWarrior. I eventually abandoned this approach, but
inadvertently left the environment variables in environment.plist.
Removing these variables caused the applications to work again.
I suspect that any application that uses Macrovision for activation
will suffer the same crashing problem.

I have MacroMedia's Studio MX, but am unable to run it on my desktop
machine because it crashes on launch. It's been a half year since I
experienced and reported this problem, but there's been no progress.
Looks like your crash may be occurring in the product activation
checking
code. Are you aware of the issue addressed at the URL below?

Macromedia and I agree that the bug is in Macrovision's activation
code. Neither the "fix" above nor another from Macromedia fixes the
problem. They've heard of other people having this problem, but
finding out what's causing it has been frustratingly elusive for them,
because they can't reproduce the problem on their virgin machines.
I have a repeatable case. If I could just get some information about
the arguments to the procedures, it might be possible to move forward
and get the bug fixed.
