It's a bad access error. You must've stomped on system memory somewhere. It's just crashing inside system functions because that's where the system accesses the memory you corrupted. That's why memory bugs are so hard to track down: You change some un-allocated (or already released) memory and it doesn't blow up in your face until someone else uses the memory you just overwrote.

I'm a little surprised that a head programmer didn't spot that one immediately...
