Java-Cocoa NSAppleScript and bus errors

Dear cocoa-dev list

I am writing a Java-Cocoa application which uses class NSAppleScript to
execute apple scripts to remotely drive an application. On many occasions I
get the error signal 10 (SIGBUS) or signal 11(SIGSEGV)

I then wrote this simple program (below) to execute a simple apple script
5000 times, but still get bus error.
If I increase the sleep to 500 then the loop eventually completed without
error.

Is here a bug in NSAppleScript? Has anyone insight into this problem?

With kind regards Jamie Gunn

import java.util.*;
import com.apple.cocoa.foundation.*;
import com.apple.cocoa.application.*;

public class SimpleJava {

public static void main (String args[]) {
NSApplication app = NSApplication.sharedApplication();
int x = 5000;
while (x-- > 0){
String script = "tell application \"Finder\"\n" +
"get the name of every item in the desktop\n" +
"end tell";

NSMutableDictionary errors = new NSMutableDictionary();
NSAppleScript myScript = new NSAppleScript(script);
NSAppleEventDescriptor results = myScript.execute(errors);

if (results == null) {
System.out.println("Error:\n");
}
else {
int numberOfDesktopItems = results.numberOfItems();
System.out.println(x + " NoOfFolders=" +
numberOfDesktopItems);
/*
for(int i = 1; i <= numberOfDesktopItems; i++) {
NSAppleEventDescriptor subDescriptor =
results.descriptorAtIndex(i);
System.out.println(" " +
subDescriptor.stringValue());
}
*/
}

try {
Thread.sleep(10);
} catch(Exception e){}
}
}
}
