Aperture 3.2.1 crashing constantly

I know version 3.2.1 wa supposed to solve crashing but instead it is causing it. I have done all the steps here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805 including deleting and re-installing Aperture itself and after being open for a few seconds it ALWAYS crashes. The error message I get is:

I am at my wits end and at this point would love to just be able to open it long enough to export my pictures and go back to Lightroom if I have to. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2), 4GB RAM 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo

few things i understand whille tring to fix the problem:


1. opening a new database solved the problem, but now i dont have my old pics.

2. remove the last month projects didnt solve the problem.

3. rebuild database didnt solve the problem.


I dont think this is a database problem, allthow opening a new database solved the problem.

I was having this problem. It started after I rebuilt permissions, database, and library because duplicate copies of pictures were showing up in projects for no apparent reason. After rebuilding everything Aperture first would relentlessly process. Then it began crashing and crashing and crashing. I deleted the plist files to no avail. What seems to have solved the problem for me was reinstalling the last upgrade (3.2.1). Aperture has been quite stable now for a couple of hours and I hope I'm not jinxing things by sending this message.

Alice;

All my problems began after I installed the last reccomended update for A3. Had no problems til that point in time. I am still waiting for a reply from Apple, as I have given all the data they have requested and the "engineers" now have possesion of such. I hope your A3 continues on the path to wellness, mine is suffering considerably.
