NSTask vs. NSThread

Subject: NSTask vs. NSThread
From: Scott Thompson <email@hidden>

Early in our launch process we spawn an NSTask to copy some startup files into the user's Application Support folder (if appropriate).

Later in the same routine, we spawn an NSThread that does a simple calculation and then quits.

If we order the routine so that the thread starts before the task is spawned, then the task will hang. If we order things so that the thread is spawned after the task starts, then everything appears to be OK.

Is there some subtlety to using tasks and threads that would cause such behavior?

Scott
