Strange Crash on a 10.5 32bits Intel Mac

Hello.

I have been working on an app that is built for 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7, using Xcode 3.2.6 on Snow Leopard. Everything has been fine up until I decided to run the app on a 32-bits Intel iMac running 10.5.8. The same function works well on a 10.6.8 Mac or a 10.7.2 Mac but when running on this 10.5.8 Mac, I'm getting the following crash:

Thread 5 Crashed:
0   libSystem.B.dylib             	0x00007fff81af8d4e small_free_list_remove_ptr + 169
1   libSystem.B.dylib             	0x00007fff81af5911 szone_free + 2477
2   com.apple.CoreGraphics        	0x00007fff81da1530 CGPDFTextStringRelease + 41
3   com.apple.PDFKit              	0x000000010069ad5b -[PDFPage(PDFPageInternal) loadTextChars] + 3365
4   com.apple.PDFKit              	0x0000000100697493 -[PDFPage string] + 99
5   com.apple.PDFKit              	0x0000000100691d15 -[PDFDocument string] + 165

In my code, I instantiate a PDFDocument instance from an existing file. I then send the instance the "string" message to get the text from the document. As you can see above, [PDFDocument string] seems to be sending the PDFPage instance a string message and it seems like this is failing to allocate memory.

It doesn't seem to matter what kind of documents I try. All the ones I tried had valid text and they were all succeeding on a 10.5 or 10.7 Macs.

Anybody has any idea why it's crashing on the 10.5 machine?

As a clue, I did copy the project over that Mac and built it using Xcode 3.1.4. I then ran it in the debug mode and it wouldn't crash.

Thanks in advance for any help, pointer or info!

(Yes, I know, maybe we should just end supporting 10.5 but I'm not calling the shots here!)

-Laurent.
