against macosx 10.8.5, i've had the following weird stuff. i think this is somehow OS related -
1) when given a long list of images to register where the reference image has a 400mm FL and the targets have 200mm fl, star alignment eventually hangs while detecting stars on an image about 1/2 way down the list. this might correlate with the machine going into a low-power state (this is on a macbook air). star alignment is working hard with many failed ransac iterations. unfortunately it's too many images to upload…
2) i just ran TGVDenoise and walked away from the laptop. i don't think the machine was sleeping but as i unlocked the screensaver, PI just crashed. i could see that TGVDenoise was done as i could see the PI desktop briefly. this backtrace makes it seem like the problem was again OS related.
