Change your diagnostic preferences to the extended one that displays debug information.
Then you should see the info that may help you debug this.
I think Tinkertool and Onyx will let you do that.
If this is not a crash, but an in app alert, in Objective-C, an NSAssert is probably being thrown and an NSAssertionHandler is probably trapping it.
Got a screenshot?
