Crashing in NSUIHeartBeat thread


  • Subject: Crashing in NSUIHeartBeat thread
  • From: Paul Ferguson <email@hidden>
  • Date: Mon, 4 Nov 2002 07:52:55 -0800

I am receiving sporadic crash reports from users that all have one thing in common--crashing in the NSUIHeartBeat thread:

Thread 2 Crashed:
#0 0x9068ba50 in objc_msgSend
#1 0x931af7fc in +[NSGraphicsContext currentContextDrawingToScreen]
#2 0x93357f38 in -[NSView canDraw]
#3 0x933517d4 in -[NSUIHeartBeat _heartBeatThread:]
#4 0x9081cd38 in forkThreadForFunction
#5 0x90021428 in _pthread_body

I don't know what is causing this crash and can't reproduce it, but am getting enough reports from different users to know something is wrong. Unfortunately, I cannot find any information about this thread or NSUIHeartBeat.

I suspect (without any more than a hunch) that it may be caused by my use of NSProgressIndicators in the toolbars of several windows (the indicators display the quality of a network connection, and are updated every 10 seconds while connected.) The windows containing these indicators may be minimized in the dock at the time of the crash.

Any help would be appreciated.
