Crash in removeObserver


  • Subject: Crash in removeObserver

Any ideas on what would cause an intermittent crash in
     [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self];
which I have in my dealloc method of my NSDocument subclass?

I have not been able to reproduce it here, but a few users have reported the issue - one saying that he gets the crash 30% of the time he closes a document. The stack trace is:

Exception:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes:      KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS (0x0001) at 0x419e0030

I've seen some other postings on similar topics, but none of them seem to match my situation.


Does it matter whether
    [[self undoManager] removeAllActionsWithTarget:self];
goes before or after the removeObserver call in the dealloc method?


TIA
