[Mac OS X TeX] OSX 10.1 crashes on epstopdf'ed pdf's

[Alessandro Languasco]

<x-flowed ISO-8859-1>Georges:
you are not alone!
Some times ago I report a similar problem to this list
and also to Apple suppport (as usual they do not give me any answer).
Other guys too in the USA had similar problems (you can see their 
description
in the Apple discussion site).

My solution was to use the Macps2pdf by Thomas R. Kiffe.
It seems to produce .pdf files that don't crash Quartz engine.
Bye,
