You can use gdb to attach to the program after it freezes to find out where it's stuck. Or just use Shark, or sample in Activity Monitor. > if ([lock lockWhenCondition:kConditionThreadMustExit) How does this even compile? The braces are unbalanced, and lockWhenCondition: returns void. In any case, you definitely have deadlock potential here. Your -killThread method blocks waiting for the thread to exit. Your thread blocks waiting for the main thread to complete. If both of these happen at the same time, both of them are waiting for the other to finish first.
