iMovie 09 or 11 crashes when importing from Panasonic GH2

Symptoms: plug the GH2 to the PC and start the synchro from the device causes iMovie to crash inevitably.
To see the error message:
> cd /Applications/iMovie.app/Contents/MacOS

will get
Error getting a reference to /options

Solution:
Install a fixed AppleSMBIOS.kext in /S/L/E (e.g. with Kext Utility).
The one to pick is AppleSMBIOS.kext_MacBookPro.zip to be found @ Fully fixed AppleSMBIOS driver
