It sounds like you are trashing memory somewhere or you have an object in an autorelease pool in one thread that is being accessed after the pool is released, likely in a different thread (since your error messages are changing).

That's probably what's happening but I'm not sure how to fix it.

I'm scanning a large folder hierarchy on a server that takes quite awhile to execute (avg 12 minutes) and I want the machine to be usable while this is going on in the background. I'm adding and removing objects to a mutable array allocated in the init method from the thread.

Is this what's doing it? If so, how would I keep some of the objects found inside the context of the thread once it exits? Do something like this?

[myMutableArray performSelectorOnMainThread: @Selector(addObject:) withData: someData]
