I presume that sending a notification to a deallocced object causes a crash?

Invariably! ;)

Oh, yes, it will bite you. Says so right in the documentation of - [NSDocument close].

Funny how I read that so many times last week when overriding - canCloseDocument: but then forget immediately.

When I had a problem like this one time I ended my -dealloc like this:

  [super dealloc] ;
  self = nil ;
}

I'll try it, just looking for a 'clean' implementation, so I unregister at the right point.

Just for completeness,

I found that I was registering for the notifications of a view in my NSDocument's -init method, not in the -windowDidLoadNib. Therefore the object: argument of -addObserver:selector:name:object: was nil, thus I was getting *all* notifications. Moving the registration to - windowDidLoadNib: sorted it all as the object I wanted to watch was instantiated.
