Since Tiger has been released we've seen an increasing number of crash reports for our application that involve the Apple Type Server (ATS). They all kind of look like this:
Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS (0x0001) at 0x015620e0

We typically tell our users to disable any extra fonts they've installed (or all fonts) and try running our application again. This has solved the problem in all cases. Strangely, if they reenable all their fonts after a successful launch and then relaunch our application, the problem is gone.
Has anyone else seen these kinds of crashes, or have any clue to what could be causing the problem? TIA,
~Martin
