Re: alloc init thread safe?

I'm using NSThread detachThreadSelector.  Nothing out of the ordinary.

But now I find I have a BOOL method that is rarely and randomly returning NO when the only exit to the method is "return YES;" so I have some strange problem somewhere. It turned out that the method didn't need to be BOOL, but the result is checked anyway.

It's not something that is being picked up by NSZombie.

I meant to ask specifically... how are you creating your secondary threads? If you aren't creating them using NSThread have you taken steps to force the Cocoa framework into multi-threaded mode? (as Chris outlined in his email)

Review...
