Who owns the view controller? Apparently, no-one, sine ARC is deallocating it 
once the last reference to it (the tab view item) is deallocated. If there is 
supposed to be an owner, make sure the owner’s reference is strong. If you can 
target 10.10+, using NSTabViewController is probably a better choice.
