That sure sounds strange. +class is plainly defined as a class method
of NSObject. If it's crashing, it sure seems like that'd be a pretty
significant (and probably well-known) bug. The first things that come
to mind that might result in +class crashing are either doing
something fancy with distributed/proxy objects, or perhaps the bundle
that defined the class was unloaded before +class got called.

In "normal" everyday use, [self class] in a class method should never
cause problems, AFAIK.
