Looks like he was running the app in Rosetta... good luck deciphering that. It can't even tell which thread crashed.

Yes you can, actually.

Look further down the build log and it will have Rosetta information on the crash. Looks like thread 0 crashed in OpenGL.

Something calling into aglChoosePixelFormat is giving it bad data, leading towards a crash. I can't tell more than that from the log, since it seems symbols from the app itself are missing from this particular build.

If your customer can repro it, give him the same build with symbols and have him reproduce it.
