Dear list,

I have a very complex document based app. If I run the app compiled with 
garbage collection support, then I can open and close document windows without 
problems. With garbage collected disabled, opening and closing the document 
windows results in crashes. Clearly I have a memory management issue. My 
problem is that the crash report doesn't help me. Running in Xcode, the 
debugger drops out in NSApplicationMain with the following back trace:

#0  0x00007fff91380398 in objc_msgSend_vtable14 ()

Can anyone offer any hints or suggestions as to how I can better go about 
finding this memory problem?

(By the way, the reason I want to switch off the garbage collector is that I 
get intermittent crashes to do with the garbage collector queue; googling 
revealed that others have seen these crashes and the consensus seemed to be, 
switch off garbage collection. In any case, I don't like the fact that I can't 
switch off garbage collection due to what must be a bug somewhere.)


Best wishes,

Martin
