In particular, are you manipulating the view hierarchy -- removing views from it -- from another thread or in any "figure out the rect that needs to be refreshed" code?

Nope, no views are added/removed in any of my code.

Crashes in CFRelease or -release almost always indicate that some
object has been over-released. I'd pay special attention to any code
you have that either creates views or manipulates the view hierarchy
in other ways. Look for any -release or -autorelease method calls that
aren't properly balanced.

My thoughts exactly, however...

Run with NSZombieEnabled to see if you can catch anything that way (unless you're using GC).

...I tried this along with CFZombieLevel, but it didn't log anything though. This is a preference pane app with the System Preferences started as a custom executable with NSZombie and CFZombieLevel set as arguments so that should still work right?


From the original stack trace one of the return address' is in NSBox's implementation of viewWillDraw. Now, my interface has two boxes, one housing the other and a custom view. To investigate if I was perhaps doing something in my custom view to cause the crash I implemented viewWillDraw and simply called super - turns out that my custom view isn't the problem because its viewWillDraw is never in the return stack.

Of course, it is far more likely to be something in my code that is at fault that something in the frameworks. The bug is also reproducible to a certain extent though it isn't always in the same return stack leading me to believe it is in fact a memory management bug. But if I can't get NSZombies to work then how am I to proceed?
