I can find in the list archives for 2005-2007 quite a few mentions of crashes when using asynchronous NSURLConnection, and in 2005 I myself reported Problem ID 4347324. The crashes seemed to stop without a definitive resolution, possibly with Mac OS 10.5, but have reappeared in my apps recently. A crash is likeliest when the app is rapidly creating, reading the first packet, cancelling, and releasing NSURLConnections at a rate of 20 per second, has 10-20 such connections open simultaneously, and may be more likely on multi-processor/multi-core Mac Pro systems with high-speed network access.
So on Wednesday I've scheduled time at an ADC lab to beat on this. Below, I've pasted in call stacks for the three crash reports I've collected; one from my testing and two from users. The first two are somewhat similar, involving +[NSURLConnection(NSURLConnectionReallyInternal) _resourceLoadLoop:] on a secondary thread. I suppose this is a callback when data arrives. But the third one is quite different, and is on the main thread. I'd appreciate any suggestions of what to look for, or any better explanation of what's going on in those call stacks. I know memory management is a possible issue, although I've been there many times, I'm looking again.
