Unfortunately not as it's perfectly possible for some code to trigger bugs in
the compiler or runtime that other code does not trigger.

I would guess that, in the absence of something like valgrind which will
report memory problems, what's needed is actually to run the program under gdb
and step through to find where something goes wrong.

One thing ... in the original stackdump reported I see this:

> #14 0x409e5304 in pathSeps () at NSString.m:268

but line 268 should only be executed if using mswindows style path separators
... which suggests that memory must already have been corrupted by the time
this point was reached.
