here are some messages that gdb returned while i was debugging.
because i was not stepping through my own code when i got these
messages, i am led to believe that perhaps they are caused by some
error on apple's part. does anyone know what could be causing this?
I don't know what the deal with the crash is, but the no line number
warnings are to be expected. Apple strip their framework binaries down
to the bare minimum to save space, which means nothing more than the
symbol names the ObjC runtime needs. Plus, you don't have the source
to Apple's frameworks, so what good would a line number do you anyway?
Be careful when stepping through other people's frameworks for which
you don't have the code - gdb tends to jump all over the place, since
it doesn't seem to be very sure where to end each step. I've seen gdb
occasionally cause an otherwise fine program to crash by doing this.
That may be the case with the crash you posted.
