I'm experiencing a peculiar problem with NSString: use of certain
strings leads to crashes. The code below illustrates the problem.
The program crashes on the NSLog(test) line. I'm not sure why the
first NSLog() would would work and the second crashes.
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
NSString* test = @"http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://
jameselee.myblogsite.com/EXAMPLE%20-%20RSS%20Icon%

2Bicon&start=20&svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&client=safari%
26rls=en-us&sa=N";
NSLog(@" link:%@", test);
NSLog(test);
[pool release];
}
Program output when run in debugger:

Many other strings will not cause a crash. This one (and others url
strings from images.google.com) seem to cause the failure. I'm
running MacOS X 10.4.4. I tried the sample code above on another
machine with the same result. If I append this "faulty" string to
another string [str appendString:test], it "messes up" str (i.e.,
modifies str in unpredictable ways).
I'm curious if anyone has any insight into what may be going wrong here.
Thanks,
