One possible fix to an iPhoto rebuild crash

iPhoto was crashing every time I ran the rebuild procedure. In the console log, I found this entry:

XXXdbg : replacing an array type field not supported yet.
I did a little investigation and followed a hunch. Suffice to say that you will get this error if you include the ( and ) characters in your photo titles; i.e. the names of the photos.

Unfortunately, iPhoto still crashes right at the end of the rebuild procedure, a Bad Address error as it attempts to write the final AlbumData.xml file. If anyone else has a tip regarding this, please speak up. With keywords on most of my 2500+ photos, I really want to avoid reconstructing the library from scratch.
