That usually means drawRect: is being called while the table is already inside its own drawRect: method.
I've had to deal with this recently. One possible way to find out where it's happening is to subclass your table view and override drawRect:, then setup a counter to check to see if the re-entry is occurring, something like this (untested): static int c = 0; - (void)drawRect:(NSRect)rect { if (c > 0) { // re-entry, set a breakpoint here } c++; [super drawRect:rect]; c--; } The problem in my code was we were manually running the run loop which continued to process events, causing the drawRect: to be called multiple times (often in recursion, leading to a crash), so check to see if you're doing anything like this. We've noticed on 10.6 it's much less prone to crash in these situations, but 10.5/10.4 aren't as forgivable.
