Weird... It seems that sourceImage (the generic one only) is being garbage collected in the middle of the drawing. If I disable GC just before doing the drawing, and enable it again afterwards, the process stops crashing.
I verified this by making a new project, where I placed the screensaver view in a normal window. With GC disabled, there were no crashes. As soon as I enabled GC, it started crashing.
