Without going into detail for your specific problem, I'd try to break when that message is output and then inspect which object outputs the message....If you are lucky, a breakpoint on [NSException raise] or NSLog will work.

If the error does not occur 100% reproducible, it might be bad memory management - an object deallocated and in the same memory location repalced with something completely different, whose method is invoked.

Thank you, Thomas. Further testing confirmed that it is not 100% reproducible. Besides NSKeyValueObservance, sometimes the errant message gets sent to an NSIdEnumerator and sometimes objc_message_send crashes. So, yes, it looks like a case of invalid message receiver.


To troubleshoot this, I defined observeValueForKeyPath:::: in a category on NSObject, so that way any time that message was sent to an object which didn't handle it, I'd get a log.

I have simply no idea about CoreData intrinsics, but I'm sure the normal debug features like setting NSZombieEnabled and CFZombieLevel will at least help tracing that down... <http://www.cocoadev.com/ index.pl?NSZombieEnabled>
