Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums - Programming savvy people, please help!

I can run Dolphin and add directories and enter the config and game properties and DSP menus. However, I can't do anything else without crashing! Here is my system information:
Model: iMac11,1, BootROM IM111.0034.B02, 4 processors, Intel Core i7, 2.8 GHz, 8 GB, SMC 1.54f36
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 4850, ATI Radeon HD 4850, PCIe, 512 MB

When I try to run a game, I get a different error message than when I try to open the controller dialogs, it crashes at thread 4 instead of thread 0:

Thread 4 Crashed:

Does anyone know why it would do this?
Here is the crash report that pops up when I click the gamecube controller settings button:

New info: When I open dolphin through the Terminal, I can see an extra line when dolphin quits, it just says Segmentation Fault. Does this mean I should try running Dolphin from another hard drive? I have used disk utility and my hard drives are all valid...
