Signal 11 and Signal 10 Errors

Dear Developers :)

this is my first message to this mailing list, so I suppose you will appreciate a small (very small) presentation: I'm an Italian software developer, usually I work as web application developer in PHP and JSP (I'd like to work in Web Objects in the near future).
Now I'm working on a Cocoa Project in University of Palermo with a partner.


The Cocoa Application: "stickIt!"

"stickIt!" is a small application based on Aqua Humane Interface Guidelines. "stickIt!" is a friendly interface between the user and iCal and AddressBook. You can take your notes about events, to do, contacts in natural language. Our Application will work with iCal or Address Book to make the right event, todo or contact.

"stickIt!" is based on an underground layer developed in Lex and Yacc to understand natural language.
Now "stickIt!" can understand the subset of Italian language that we use to take notes.


The problem: Signal 11 e Signal 10 Errors

We have misteriosus problems with Signal 11 e Signal 10 Errors :(
Sometimes our application crashes with a signal 10 (SIGBUS), sometimes with signal 11 (SIGSGV).
We know the theorical reason of those signals... We know that attempting to write to a nonexistent object will produce a Signal 11 segmentation violation, while attempting to retreive data from a nonexistent object will result in a Signal 10 bus error... but we can't find the - diabolic - bug!

I'm a bit worried that you would consider our problem a newbies problem, and I would understand if your answer is 'RTFM'... but our problem is that we don't understand why objects in manageToDo() give signal 11 and signal 10 errors.
We'd like to know how we could deallocs without any crash...

We have launched our application in Debug mode and with Object Alloc, we have read a lot of stuff about memory managment... but, still, we don't see the light at the end of tunnel :/

We are going to release our first beta in GPL licence, so I can give you the source of two classes. (Sorry, the message is over 8kb, so I must cut a lot of code lines...)
If somebody would like to see all the project, I'll be glad to mail him all the sources :)

Thank you very much for you attention and your tips! :)

Best wishes,

Emiliano Farinella
