Hi,
I've got a dynamically loaded binary that can create NSWindow objects.
Currently I'm having some memory issues when the binary gets unloaded
with the try to free a pointer that is not a malloc buffer message
rearing its head. Here's a backtrace:
GuardMalloc[LuaAV-29575]: Tried to free pointer at 0x15a8f860 which is
not currently a pointer to a malloc buffer.
GuardMalloc[LuaAV-29575]: Explicitly trapping into debugger!!!
Program received signal: "SIGTRAP".

Seems it somehow the _objc_notify_images() call ends up trying to free
the Window even though it has already been killed. I'm not incredibly
familiar with the peculiarities of the Cocoa/objc memory mechanisms
and I'm wondering what those last few function calls are doing. I'm
running this right now on the latest Tiger update.
thanks,
wes
