Suddenly Spotlight and Safari are crashing all the time on my Mac. Both crash in the same library method (-[CKStoreDAAPLibrary _writePersistedStore]) trying to insert nil into some Obj-C collection. That makes me think there's a file on my drive that's corrupted, and if I can delete it, I might be able to restore sanity.
It occurs to me there's probably a way to stop execution on the call of that method, and see what files are open by that process (Spotlight or Safari), but I'm not very well-versed in using the debugger outside of Xcode and my own projects. Can anyone here suggest a course of action? FWIW, here's the stack trace that's crashing: Process: Spotlight [1338] Path: /System/Library/CoreServices/Spotlight.app/Contents/MacOS/Spotlight Identifier: com.apple.Spotlight Version: 1.0 (1191.1) Build Info: SpotlightUI-1191001000000000~1 Code Type: X86-64 (Native) Parent Process: ???
