 Hi Guys,

 There's apparently a bug with OS X that when using the file open or add
 vector or raster layer dialogs to navigate to a folder containing an alias
 to a shared volume (typically this might be the desktop containing an
 alias to one or more servers) qgis 0.11.0 will try and mount the volume or
 crash if it can't. This behavior was not in 0.10.0. Using OS X 10.4.11
 ppc. If the aliases are mounted as volumes, qgis is fine, but obviously
 there will be many occasions where the volumes aren't required (or aren't
 available).
