A crash in _CFDictionaryGrow suggests to me that your app has used up all the memory available to it. Does anything in your user's console log indicate this? If you're doing batch operations on a background thread, are you sure it's managing its memory properly?

I recently released a universal binary to beta testers. My application does offline batch processing on audio files, using the Audio Units framework. In general, the process takes about 5 minutes per file, so I do this work in a separate thread. One of my users reported that the application crashed while about half way through the 15th file (of 24). He was able to resume his batch from that file, and complete it successfully.

I have not been able to make heads or tails of this crash dump (below). I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. It appears that none of it is really my code. What is the start/ _start method? Some sort of auto-generated entry point? The application is in Objective-C++. My tester has a PPC mac, and I an Intel (so this crash happened on PPC).

Thanks in advance!
