Hello everyone,

I have a user reporting a crash whenever they try to first save a file. It is 
reproducible for the user (though not be me) and I'm wondering how to best 
debug this problem remotely. I've included the crash stack below (all other 
threads are waiting/trapped).

I'm no expert on dyld, but I suspect the crash is triggered when loading up 
some bundle code required by OSX's save panel (or perhaps some kind of 
installed system enhancer). I've discovered the environment variable 
DYLD_PRINT_LIBRARIES_POST_LAUNCH, which I'm hoping will help identify the 
relevant library. However, my fear is that this debugging aid logs each 
library's path only after each load completes successfully (ie: conceptually 
after the crash). If so, that obviously won't help me.

Thanks for any advice,

~Martin
