Hi Greg, Looks like InitialisePathUtilities is catching and re-throwing an exception on line 1180.
Could you break on objc_exception_throw and re-run to see if you can get a stack trace from the initial exception? We know it'll be an "-initWithBytes:lenth:encoding given nul bytes" exception, but I don't know where in the NS_DURING block of InitialisePathUtilities that the failing -initWithBytes call is being made.
