All apps crashing, but only in gdb

I'm running into an odd problem where my system gets into a state where I can't run any GUI app in gdb without it crashing. Note that this is independent of project as I've tested against older projects as well as newly created ones. As long as the app loads a window, it crashes. Note that it runs fine if run normally (without the debugger). Also, programs that don't have a GUI also work fine.

Here are the details:

XCode 3.1.2

EXC_BAD_ACCESS
#0 0x90a57008 in _NSCreateShapeForRoundedWindow
#1 0x90a56c64 in -[NSThemeFrame _createWindowOpaqueShape]
#2 0x90a56008 in -[NSWindow _commonAwake]
#3 0x90a5a9be in -[NSWindow _reallyDoOrderWindow:relativeTo:findKey:forCounter:force:isModal:]
#4 0x90a5a700 in -[NSWindow orderWindow:relativeTo:]
#5 0x90a8c77d in -[NSWindow orderFront:]
#6 0x9096d573 in -[NSIBObjectData nibInstantiateWithOwner:topLevelObjects:]
#7 0x90963686 in loadNib
#8 0x90962fe8 in +[NSBundle(NSNibLoading) _loadNibFile:nameTable:withZone:ownerBundle:]
#9 0x90962c2b in +[NSBundle(NSNibLoading) loadNibFile:externalNameTable:withZone:]
#10 0x90962b69 in +[NSBundle(NSNibLoading) loadNibNamed:owner:]
#11 0x90962818 in NSApplicationMain
#12 0x000039de in main at main.m:13


Now this only happens with my user account. I created another account and it doesn't exhibit this problem. I've tried the following:

- Removing all preferences and settings (I think I got them all) and restarting.
- Reinstalling XCode.
- Repairing permissions (yeah, I know - any port in a storm, as they say).


I did, on a lark, change the disassembly style to Intel and it seemed to fix it for a while then it started breaking again. Probably a red herring but I thought I'd mention it.

Nothing in console besides the typical XCode malloc/GC messages that it spews like crazy all the time. I have the gdb log if anyone can tell me what to look for but otherwise I'm at wit's end. I'm considering reinstalling the OS at this point but feel like I should know what is causing it as it's quite possible I would just migrate it over when I reinstall all my account files from backup.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Paul Kim
