The 'icu' namespace is hinting at it, DateFormatSymbols is provided by ICU (International Components for Unicode), which in turn is an external package and thus maintained in the haikuports tree. If you see processes crashing in icu::DateFormatSymbols::intializeData(), it is very likely that the data library that is part of ICU (/boot/system/lib/libicudata.so) does not in fact contain any data. There was a problem with the ICU recipe in haikuports that caused an empty libicudata.so to be put into the package. The problem in the recipe has been fixed, but I don't know if the ICU packages have been updated yet. If not, someone should do that ... cheers, Oliver
