Hi all,

I've been battling with this intermittent crash for about two weeks now and can't figure it out for the life of me. I've got try/catch blocks around nearly all my code, and definitely around any code which runs in a separate thread, but it's not catching whatever causes this crash. Also, I'm not even convinced it's my threads causing the crash as this one happened while a modal sheet was being displayed, before any of my external threads got started.

I'm fairly sure it's not a leak or a double-free - I've tried running with NSZombieEnabled, NSDebugEnabled, Malloc Guard, run the Clang Static Analyser over it and it's not showing anything up.

If I set NSExceptionHandlingMask to 63 in the terminal before launching my app, I get the following lines appearing in the console when a crash would have happened, and the application keeps running. The problem is, I can't seem to catch the exception anywhere.

NSExceptionHandler has recorded the following exception:
NSUncaughtSystemExceptionException -- Uncaught system exception: signal 5
Stack trace:  0x94f340a9  0x95294e3b  0x94f33b11  0xc0f2a  0xc121e
0x911502bb  0xffffffff  0x932e2556  0x91115155  0x91115012


Here's the crash log I mentioned earlier. It's an intermittent crash and I'm going crazy trying to debug it. Can anyone offer me any insight at all please? Should I just burn an ADC support ticket and be done with it?

Many thanks for any help or suggestions you can give me.

Mark
