Sorry, right, I should have said lines 7, 8, or 9 which crash GDB -- 
inexplicably. Other dynamic objc in GDB does not crash GDB. Could it be 
something with NSUserDefaults itself?

In line 10 the variable ud no longer has a defined value. The autorelease pool 
that manages this value gets released in line 9 and no mor references to that 
variable should happen. It isn't great that gdb just crashes, but on Windows 
they seem to have issues with illegal memory access.
