Hi,
I'm running bitcoind both on livenet and on testnet. I daemonize both processes through the -daemon flag. However, I have found that my testnet process keeps dying at irregular intervals.
I looked in ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/ and found several reports. All of the reports have the same Crashed Thread (13 bitcoin-msghand)

I'm now watching the service and restarting it whenever it dies, but thought I'd report the issue.
This is not an issue in my livenet daemon.
_EDIT: Updated to latest version, still a problem_ Version
