Re: Hopelessly bad GC crash question

Most likely, the bad object and allocation backtrace will be from Apple's
AWT/Swing code. In that case, you should file a bug report with Apple, and
include the NSZombie log, any crash logs, and the applet itself or some
test case derived from it.


This was very helpful, thanks Greg.

I failed to realize that I had to leave the process running to get the backtraces (I interpreted "recording" to mean writing a file) but I'll get it right next time. Does apple have source to the VM available so that I can determine the fix or am I out of luck once I've blamed it on the awt implementation? Alternately is there documentation anywhere which will tell me which awt objects have "NSViewAWTContexts" associated so that I have a fighting chance of fiddling with the portion of the code related to the crash? (Although it seems overwhelmingly likely to be the drawing code, as that is almost all that's happening on the screen.)
