What kind of a signal do you get on this crash? Without that, it's kinda hard to guess what your problem could be.


My guess would be you're geting an access exception or bus error, and usually when you get that on a call to objc_msgSend() (standard bottleneck through which methods are called in ObjC), this means you are talking to an object that's already been released, or an object whose memory you otherwise managed to clobber (e.g. by changing another object that had already been released but used to be in the same spot as your new object, or rather overlapped that spot).

So, make sure you're only releasing stuff you're allowed to release, and that you're retaining all the stuff you want to keep around, and make sure you're not accessing objects from several threads that aren't thread safe, that you aren't accessing GUI objects from anything but the main thread, and that you're doing the appropriate locking of objects you wrote that can be used from several threads.

Note that all of these errors will very likely not be directly in the button (in particular, the action method you posted probably has nothing to do with it). Look in other places that contain code that runs *before* you click the button.

Also, don't be confused because it only happens in 20% of cases. Memory bugs are like that: Frequently you just get "lucky" and the memory you clobber isn't in use by anyone right now, and thus everything works.
