Here's the contents of my thread's routine { NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
mEngine->Destretch(mAudioFileList, [uiOutputDirectory stringValue], smpteIndex); [pool release]; [NSThread exit]; } In ->Destretch the only real allocation of Cocoa stuff is this NSURL * url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath: filePath]; CFURLGetFSRef((CFURLRef)url, &output); Does this need to be CFReleased some how? Its not very exciting, though since its objective-c++, maybe that's a factor. The stack trace looks like this: 0 objc_msgSend 1 ?? 2 -[SFWindowController destretchWorkerThreadEntryPoint:] 3 forkTheadForFunction 4 _pthread_body when I click on 2, it highlights the [pool release] line. Any ideas? I'm a little lost -Kevin > I'd suspect some sort of error in your app, e.g. perhaps "pool" itself > has never been alloc/inited and contains garbage.
