Hi Brad
A few weeks back I was having strange crashes with data returned from
NSURLConnection and found the following code worked for me. My errors
seemed to be encoding related, so this may not work in your case, but
it's worth a shot. Depending on what lives at the URL (HTML or XML)
you might want to replace "NSXMLDocumentTidyHTML " with
"NSXMLDocumentTidyXML"
NSXMLDocument *queryResult = [[NSXMLDocument alloc]
initWithContentsOfURL: testURL
options: NSXMLDocumentTidyHTML
error: &err];

Hi,
I'm getting a crash when creating an NSXMLDocument. It appears
that having an unknown entity in the xml data is the trigger. It
doesn't happen all of the time though, I'm getting it maybe 1 out
of 100 tries. The two times I've caught it, the xml had an unknown/
bad entity in it (one was eacute and the other an un-escaped &).
So I think that's what's triggering the crash inside of libxml.
The stack trace I'm getting on the crash is:
Thread 0 Crashed:

10 com.CynicalPeak.Cyndicate 0x0000ec05 -[IRConnection
connectionDidFinishLoading:] + 28
The xml data is being loaded from the internet using an
NSURLConnection. When the connectionDidFinishLoading: callback is
received I'm simply taking the data that was received and calling
doc = [[NSXMLDocument alloc] initWithData:data options:nil
error:&err];
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions for fixing the crash?
Thanks,
Brad
