No response here, so I've filed an Apple bug for this: 5610019.

We found a strange crash in our app with NSAnimation. It appears to
have something to do with the blocking mode of
NSAnimationNonBlockingThreaded.
The crash is very reproduceable, and you can do it simply with the
attached sample code. Create a new app, put a textfield on the main
window in IB, instantiate the AppController object in IB, and set
it to be the window's delegate (and hook up the text field you
created).
If you then run the code and resize the window a bunch, it will
crash on you. Usually takes about 10-20 seconds of resizing.
However, if I change the NSAnimationNonblockingThreaded to
NSAnimationNonblocking, it doesn't crash and works fine.
Unfortunately, my app requires each animation to be in its own
thread, so I need to use that mode.
Any ideas what is happening here? When I try it on Tiger, it
doesn't crash, but the weird thing always was that the number of
threads (from Activity Monitor) goes through the roof...it's like
they never die off when I stop and restart the animation. Does
Leopard enforce a maximum number of threads or something?
