Given Dave Keck's correct comment that threading shouldn't even come up in the 
situation you describe, I should point out that according to the docs the 
result of sending init to an NSFileManager object in 10.5 is undefined. If 
you're testing there, it's entirely legit for tempFileManager to be invalid 
after the first line executes.
