To my surprise:
an NSString returned by Cocoa will cause NSLog to crash.
Details:
I override 'openDocumentWithContentsOfURL:display:error'
in order to see what is happening.
The NSURL (absoluteURL) passed in comes from Cocoa's normal open
file dialog.
so:
NSString *s = [absoluteURL description]; // make NSString from NSURL
NSLog(s); // often works, sometimes crashes.
Never, ever, pass an arbitrary NSString as the first parameter of
NSLog - that parameter is suppose to be the _format_of the data, not
the data itself.
Any "%" in the string will cause NSLog to start looking for
parameters on the stack (and there won't be any), which will cause
garbage or crash.
You should instead do:
NSLog(@"%@", s);
