I'm having a very frustrating issue that I can't seem to be able to pinpoint...

When I run my app, I randomly get a crash on startup with the following 
message(s) in the console:

==============================================================================================

==============================================================================================

Judging by the trace, I'm thinking it might have something to do with bindings? 
It appears to be really random... I'd say 1 times out of 3 my app starts 
normally, the other 2 attempts, I get this error...

Most of my controllers (that have bindings anyway) are singletons, but I tried 
changing that (i.e. to have my sharedController method return 
"(sharedController = [[[self class] alloc] init]);"  instead)... the bug still 
occur...

I'm out of ideas... I guess the problem could be in my nib but I also tried to 
perform a "diff" on my nib file (when the app actually runs and when it 
crashes), but the nib is exactly the same in both occasions... I can post my 
singleton code if it would help but it's a singleton template that I use all 
the time without any problems

If anyone has a clue as to what could be happening, it would be really 
appreciated as I really have no idea what to try next...
