NSAttributedString -initWithPath RTFD crash on Lion

On OS X 10.7 the following is crashing on occasion in a GC app when the path contains an RTFD document:
On SL the issue does not occur.

NSAttributedString *atext = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithPath:Path documentAttributes:NULL];


The kernel log states:
01/08/2011 09:44:29.000 kernel: Data/Stack execution not permitted: MondayApp[pid 59614] at virtual address 0xfefff000, protections were read-write

I have tried disabling the collector without effect.
The code is used to load an RTFD file resource and often loads the resource without issue.
The crash is repeatable in the sense that it occurs when the code is triggered by particular set of bindings.
Other non RTFD file resources are loaded at the same time and load without issue.
The path is okay.

The following workaround seems reliable:

// get path to rtf file
NSString *filePath = [path stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"TXT.rtf"];

// get data
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:filePath options:0 error:&docError];

// get attributed string
if (!docError) {
	atext = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithData:data options:nil documentAttributes:NULL error:&docError];
}

This might work for anyone else hitting this issue.
