Options for working around a bug

The problem described below is causing my application to fail. I've raised a bug with Apple, but of course it will take them a while to address it.

I can reproduce the problem with Apple's SpecialPictureProtocol example, which is doing more or less exactly what my app is doing -- when their sample app is compiled with GC on it fails in the same way.

Am I correct in thinking that there is no source code available for the NSCFURLProtocolBridge class? (I'm assuming that it isn't part of the open source bits of webkit)
If I had the source I expect I could either figure out how to change the state of the protocol system so that whatever the finalize method is doing was already done, or change the method to be more gc-aware.


Can I replace the finalize method using a Category? I might try replacing it with a method which does nothing...

Of course the simple solution is to not use GC, but I would like to ask if there's any other plausible option?

I'm using Xcode 3, OS X 10.4.1 in a GCd app, and I'm getting the following:

EddyApp(48662,0xb0103000) malloc: *** resurrection error for object 0x2c85170: auto_zone_write_barrier: {conservative-block}[32](0x14f0d10) [16] = _NSCFURLProtocolBridge[48](0x2c85170)
EddyApp(48662,0xb0103000) malloc: *** auto malloc[48662]: error for object 0x2c85170: pointer in garbage list being stored into reachable memory, break on auto_zone_resurrection_error to debug


I have a breakpoint set on auto_zone_resurrection_error:
