[Rivet] problems running rivet

[Andy Buckley]

No idea, sorry. It seems to be correctly loading the analysis plugins
but dying when it tries to use one of the registered analyses... hmm.

It could be related to the known memory issue, which I'm afraid I've not
had a chance to fix yet and hasn't been high priority because of its
lack of effect on any of the most used systems. As far as I'm aware
Rivet does work on Macs -- we have some tests that get run on them, but
can't be any more help due to my own Mac inexperience. I'll make sure
that the code is blameless for version 2.0.0... maybe some static
analysis tools will help us.
