My MarcoPolo goes out of control as soon as I enable Bluetooth as an
Evidence Source.

CPU jumps to 100% and MarcoPolo becomes frozen.

The frozen behavior begins immediately after opening the application.

There are several known issues with MarcoPolo and OSX 10.6, with certain evidence sources (I think Bluetooth is one of them)
see my last reply about this issue for a fix to remove the preferences file to reset settings:

> Preferences are in your Home folder, subfolder Library/Prefereces/au.id.symonds.MarcoPolo2.plist (or MarcoPolo3.plist for the latest build which is worth running as it fixes some of the issues you may be having).
>
> If you have a new install, just delete the file (maybe copy it to a backup first), and recreate your rules, otherwise editing it is not much fun, but you should be able to google plist editing and find some help there.
>
> Many applications store their settings there...

> There are a few settings that can trigger bugs in osx 10.6, I am pretty sure Bluetooth was one of them. If you stick with IP, Monitor and USB and WiFi you should be ok, others I have not played with, and some do cause problems.
