Hi there,

We have an installer that searches for a copy of our application on user's machines using PBCatalogSearchAsync. Basically for every mounted volume we spun off a pthread that calls PBCatalogSearchAsync and in PBCatalogSearchAsync's completion routine we add the search results to an array(using a mutex).

Unfortunately our application crashes with the follwoing snippet from a crash reporter:

Exception:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)

The thing is that the thread that crashes is not the one we spin off.

AsyncFileThread(void*)  is (I assume) Apple's private API.

PBCatalogSearchAsync is thread safe as of 10.0 so I don' t know what we are doing to cause

the crash(I suppose calling some non-reentrant code)
