One possible fix to an iPhoto rebuild crash
Authored by: Old Toad on Feb 18, '05 12:04:30PM

In either V4 or V5 if you remove the AlbumData.xml file and launch iPhoto it will be rebuilt and the keywords are not lost. Also, in iPhoto 5 the Albums folder is no longer necessary, just a carry over from V4 libraries that have been upgraded, and can be deleted.

So, if your iPhoto is crashing as it's trying to write the AlbumData.xml file, try removing it from the library folder and restarting iPhoto. (In my V4 iPhoto also would crash at the end of the rebuild but when I opened it next the library was rebuild and OK).
