We have a problem where if our application crashes due to a null pointer or some such thing, instead of producing the "unexpectedly quit" dialog, it just hangs with the whirling fruit gum of doom. This only happens with deployment builds - development builds work fine. Any attempt to attach with gdb or get a stack trace with Sampler/Shark/Spin Control etc. fails - requiring a reboot if we try attaching with gdb as gdb hangs as well and there's no way to get rid of the application windows..

Has anyone else seen this, or know how to stop it happening? - our beta-testers can't report produce crash reports when they get a problem making it hard to track down bugs.

Replying to my own message....

Some more information: If I do a "ps" while my app is hung, there's a zombie (crashdump) process which is a child of my app. Presumably, this is a zombie because my crashed app has not checked its error status. I'm hoping this might ring some bells with someone...
