I've got a report from a user of my program crashing.
In the console they are getting this: 11/19/09 3:08:46 PM[0x0-0x18a18a]Progname[8699]Progname(8699,0x1167b0000) malloc: *** error for object 0x100563870: pointer being freed was not allocated 11/19/09 3:08:46 PM[0x0-0x18a18a] Progname[8699]*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug And in the crash report: Process: Progname [11128] Path: /Applications/Progname.app/Contents/MacOS/Progname Identifier: Progname Version: 1.19 (19) Code Type: X86-64 (Native) Parent Process: launchd [180] Date/Time: 2009-11-19 17:40:42.570 -0500 OS Version: Mac OS X 10.6.2 (10C540) Report Version: 6 Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT) Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000 Crashed Thread: 2 Application Specific Information: abort() called objc[11128]: garbage collection is ON Thread 0: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread 0 libSystem.B.dylib 0x00007fff879a7e3a mach_msg_trap + 10 1 libSystem.B.dylib 0x00007fff879a84ad mach_msg + 59 2 com.apple.CoreFoundation 0x00007fff86c997a2 __CFRunLoopRun + 1698 3 com.apple.CoreFoundation 0x00007fff86c98c2f CFRunLoopRunSpecific + 575 4 com.apple.HIToolbox 0x00007fff865b9a4e RunCurrentEventLoopInMode + 333 5 com.apple.HIToolbox 0x00007fff865b9853 ReceiveNextEventCommon + 310 6 com.apple.HIToolbox 0x00007fff865b970c BlockUntilNextEventMatchingListInMode + 59 7 com.apple.AppKit 0x00007fff815f31f2 _DPSNextEvent + 708 8 com.apple.AppKit 0x00007fff815f2b41 -[NSApplication nextEventMatchingMask:untilDate:inMode:dequeue:] + 155 9 com.apple.AppKit 0x00007fff815b8747 -[NSApplication run] + 395 10 Progname 0x0000000100000eea main + 76 11 Progname 0x0000000100000e7c start + 52 Thread 1: Dispatch queue: com.apple.libdispatch-manager 0 libSystem.B.dylib 0x00007fff879c0bba kevent + 10 1 libSystem.B.dylib 0x00007fff879c2a85 _dispatch_mgr_invoke + 154 2 libSystem.B.dylib 0x00007fff879c275c _dispatch_queue_invoke + 185 3 libSystem.B.dylib 0x00007fff879c2286 _dispatch_worker_thread2 + 244 4 libSystem.B.dylib 0x00007fff879c1bb8 _pthread_wqthread + 353 5 libSystem.B.dylib 0x00007fff879c1a55 start_wqthread + 13 Thread 2 Crashed: 0 libSystem.B.dylib 0x00007fff87a7784d usleep$NOCANCEL + 0 1 libSystem.B.dylib 0x00007fff87a96e3c abort + 93 2 libSystem.B.dylib 0x00007fff879ae155 free + 128 3 libSystem.B.dylib 0x00007fff879fa16e asl_set_query + 572 4 libSystem.B.dylib 0x00007fff87a16239 asl_send + 824 5 libSystem.B.dylib 0x00007fff87a15e56 asl_vlog + 570 6 libSystem.B.dylib 0x00007fff87a15c19 asl_log + 153 7 Progname.CocoaTools 0x0000000104567101 -[Log vlogLevel:format:arguments:] + 270 8 Progname.CocoaTools 0x000000010456730c -[Log notice:] + 164 ....etc Does this look like an Apple bug? It looks to me like the asl subsystem is freeing something it shouldn't and aborting the program. __________________________________________________________________________________ Win 1 of 4 Sony home entertainment packs thanks to Yahoo!7.
