<p>vWhen I open the bitcoin-qt (v0.8.5 beta) app on my MacBook Pro 10.7.5 it says - loading block index, verifying blocks, loading wallet - then immediately crashes on loading wallet to give message "bit coin-qt unexpectedly quit". I know the address of my wallet, but not the private key. How can I solve this problem ??</p>
