It may have nothing directly to do with you executing an Apple Script. While processing the script, the system is running an internal run loop while it waits for a reply. Some run loop source has fired. That run loop source may have nothing to do with the Apple Script. Executing the script simply gave it the opportunity to fire. It appears to be related to a -performSelectorOnMainThread:… or -performSelector:onThread:… invocation, judging by the presence of __NSThreadPerformPerform in the stack trace. Beyond that, it may be a memory management error, where something was over-released and thus deallocated while there was still a reference to it. Or it may even be that the -performSelector… invocation was for -setObject:forKey: on a dictionary, with a nil argument.
