I stumbled on the same issue today and found a different way to avoid the crash on quit. I clear out the drag pasteboard in terminate:.

NSPasteboard * pasteboard = [NSPasteboard pasteboardWithName: NSDragPboard];
[pasteboard declareTypes: [NSArray array] owner: self];

( of course only do it if the change count has not changed).

Incidentally, I take back what I said earlier; sending an array of multiple types to the Finder caused my app to segfault on quit

That's due to a bug in Mac OS X 10.3 where, if you perform a file-promise drag with multiple files at once, then the AppKit deallocates the NSFilePromiseDragSource private class too early, causing the app to crash when the AppKit tries to re-release the class on termination. At least that's what I observed by watching the whole process in GDB.

AFAIK there is only one workaround, and it is to add this to your application's source:

@interface NSFilePromiseDragSource : NSObject
{ }
@end

@implementation NSFilePromiseDragSource (DontCrash)
- (void)dealloc { }
- (unsigned int)retainCount { return UINT_MAX; }
@end

That way the class will never deallocate, and thus won't crash when the AppKit tries to double-deallocate it. While this does cause a memory leak to occur when file promise drags occur, I can't find any other good way of solving this problem...
