A good lead, the thread safety angle.
The interesting thing is that I was getting the same crash before I
tried a background thread to update the display. I was originally just
running a timer off the main thread. Same problem. And I'm making no
other access to that NSTextView. The other interesting thing is that
the crash is in the Layout Manager, not the TextView itself.
So should I try wrapping that update in a critical section?

Yea, that came out wrong, what I meant to say was the timer seemingly
was created off the main thread and is thus calling a function on the
main thread improperly. I'm tired..

Since timers are threaded and you are accessing a GUI component from
a different thread(aka thread 4 crashed)
Timers are not "threaded". They're executed in the thread where they
were scheduled.
That said, I agree that Jason seem to be accessing things from a
non-main thread in a way that's probably not supported.
