Looks like an object is not removing itself as an observer of window notifications prior to deallocation. The notification center holds on to weak references, so these can become stale if not purposely removed, usually by a call to -removeObserver: as part of the -dealloc method (with ARC you would still need a -dealloc method, just not call [super dealloc]). But dealloc might be too late anyway.

With a bunch of related objects, such as a document, a window and the views in it, the exact order of destruction can mean that correctly untangling things from the notification center becomes tricky, and also may change from one OS release to another. Forgetting to -removeObserver: (or doing it in the wrong place) might work due to destruction order, then crash in a different OS version. I've run into this a few times. Usually finding where I'm calling -removeObserver: and making that happen earlier has led to a solution.
