Hi all,

The following works just fine in non-GC apps when called in an IBAction
method:

        NSSpeechSynthesizer* speechSynthesizer =
    [[[NSSpeechSynthesizer alloc] init] autorelease];
        [speechSynthesizer startSpeakingString:
    @"Hello. I'm Macintosh. It sure is great to get out of that bag."];

In GC apps it crashes (non main thread):

#0  0x907586e8 in objc_msgSend ()
#1  0x952f6f23 in SpeechDoneProc ()
#2  0x1f00d979 in MTBEDoneTask::Execute ()
#3  0x1f018b01 in MTBEWorker::WorkLoop ()
#4  0x1f018b5d in MTBEWorkerStartMPTask ()
#5  0x91ec555b in PrivateMPEntryPoint ()
#6  0x96fa76f5 in _pthread_start ()
#7  0x96fa75b2 in thread_start ()

I'm guessing this is because the speechSynthesizer is collected before
it finishes speaking.  Is this 'correct behaviour' or a bug?  Needless
to say, the docs say nothing about special considerations for garbage
collection.  My speechSynthesizer has no delegate, and I don't care when
it starts or stops speaking.  Shouldn't that make it
NSSpeechSynthesizer's job to keep itself alive until it finishes
speaking?  Afterall, _I'm_ finished with the speechSynthesizer.

Thanks,
