Thanks for the tip, very useful. I've managed to address this problem, and a few other crashing problems when closing windows, by using performSelectorOnMainThread:withObject:waitUntilDone: with my window cleanup method as the selector. This looks to have the effect of delaying the call to the window cleanup until the current event has completed and it's safe to tear down the window etc. without pulling the rug out from under anything. I previously did a similar thing in Carbon by posting a kEventWindowClose event to the event queue.
