I think this is known, but I don't see an issue for it.

Using a photo editor requires lots of copying and pasting of images. This can clog up the Clipboard with large files, which eventually leads to QS crashing when the Clipboard is invoked.

I eventually got it working again by deleting:
~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/Data/Clipboard/
~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/Shelves/QSPasteboardHistory.qsshelf

- in that order. The first path contained all the high memory Objects. My Shelf is still intact after these deletions.

Any way to prevent this behaviour?
