Hello,

I have an app that runs on 10.3.9 and above. I am encountering (and am receiving crash reports) concerning an intermittent crash that so far only appears to occur on 10.3.9, and not on 10.4+.

The basic context is this: One or more sound files are being loaded into a buffer and played back. The user is able to "seek" to various positions in a sound file. (The app may be found at http:// figure53.com if you would like to see the full context.)

I have not yet been able to produce sample code that induces the crash definitively, but I am able to produce it regularly if I exercise the code that performs this seeking function.

I included crash log output when I tried to post this to the list before, but that email was rejected by the list admin, so I am resending without log output. The basic gist of the logs was that each crash is occurring somewhere within the AudioConverter* functions, either in AudioConverterFillComplexBuffer or AudioConverterReset. The traceback is slightly different on each crash I've looked at.

I realize this may not be enough information to diagnose the problem, but my questions are:

1) Is there a reason that anyone would know offhand that would explain why I'm seeing this only on 10.3.9 so far? (e.g. was there a bug fix in 10.4+ that may be relevant?) I am particularly curious about this, because it does seem very suspicious that I am only seeing the problem on 10.3.9.

2) Does the pattern of these crashes indicate some poor practice I may be following? For example, I have been careful to place locks around anything that messes with the relevant buffers, but it is possible something has slipped my notice.

3) Is there a good way I can produce more helpful debugging information?

Thanks much,
Chris
