Hi list,
I'm having trouble reproducing (and fixing) a rare bug that I

Here's the code that causes the crash. streamPosition and length are

void *buffer = malloc(length);

Hi there.
I'm using a CATextLayer to display some text which the user can change
the font size of. When the user changes the font size, I still want my
text to be centered, both vertically and horizontally.
As far as I know you can only set the the CATextLayers alignmentMode

Thanks guys,
I'm still unsure why I'm getting 4 decimal places as I know for fact
that the data is 2 decimal places. However, it seems my approach is
wrong. I'll convert to int's and NSDecimalNumbers instead and remove
