When I start Tex Live Utility (that came with MacTex) on Snow Leopard, it
crashes. I get the attached report.

Thanks for the report; this looks like a system bug.  Get Info on TLU in Finder and check the box that says "Open 
in 32-bit mode" and it will launch with no problems.  Alternately, download 0.74 from the Downloads page and 
try that as 64 bit.

I'm trying version 0.80 now, and it boots.
I get the following error however: Listing failed. Details below (from bottom console
in tex live utility):

My apologies, my most recent comment has been mentioned before. Downgrading from 0.80
to 0.74 seems to work for me. (haven't got a listing yet, but it's probably downloading)
Thanks for the help.
