Aperture crashes on photo import every time

Hi there,

I have just installed Aperture on my 10.6.8 System and wanted to import my iPhoto library (sufficient space there is, before anybody asks).

But right after I click on "import", Aperture crashes with the following report (concise version, if I should post the lot, let me know):

I have no third-party plugins or somesuch and have not altered the contents of my ColorSync profiles folder for yonkers. Further, import used to work in iPhoto until a few days ago. Same scenario when trying to import images into iPhoto, same crash thread, same entries. Any ideas what these colorsync, geode and redrock entries are trying to tell me? I#D be happ to play forensics if someone can point me in the right direction.

Any help is appreciated, I need to get my photos back in action. Thanks, Oliver
