I've deduced that he crash seems to be something timing related
which occurs only at application startup, and only under certain

I say the application is fully up and running, I mean a secondary
thread has retrieved data from a network source and populated a
model class. This secondary thread cyclically updates the data
about 8x per second by means of a timer in the secondary thread's
run loop.
I use Cocoa bindings to display the data in the UI. I'm sure the
problem is happening in the bindings, but I'm having trouble
finding where.
In the general case, and with few exceptions, you can't call your UI
on non-main threads. This means that you can't drive UI updates
based on KVO notifications from non-main threads. Could this be your
problem?

Yes, that is correct. A separate thread is spawned which updates the
model - consequently driving UI updates based on KVO notifications.
It is the only thread that is updating the model - the main thread
does very little except respond to fairly minimal UI events.
It works very reliably it seems ... except on these occassions when
the OpenPanel is opened from the main thread.
I can think through whether I really need that separate thread. But is
there a way to make the model updates from the 2nd thread safe?
