App-scoped.
In dev and testing no problem was encountered but "in the wild" we have this crash deep within -[NSURL URLByResolvingBookmarkData:options:.....]. The app was incorrectly signed due to a stuff-up with the developer ID certs which was resolved, but that won't help until we get an update published. What's annoying is that the bookmark resolving just crashes rather than handle the problem gracefully, and we're still not certain whether the incorrect signing is the real cause or not (the apps were signed, just not using the correct cert). This deep connection between parts of the OS that behave very differently according to the situation they find themselves in is a recipe for very hard-to-find bugs that easily escape QA.
