Xcode 4.6.3 is working fine on my development Mac Pro. But on my MacBook Pro it crashes every time I launch it. This started shortly after installation and first launch of 4.6.3, after I OK'd the dialog asking me to let it install device support. Now it always crashes a couple of seconds after the opening dialog comes up listing three of my projects and inviting me to open one of them, or to do something else.

The relevant part of the crash log, below, suggests that it is crashing while loading archived documentation.

Can somebody tell me where to look for the "incomprehensible archive" so I can remove it?

Use opensnoop (it is a dtrace script) to see which docset Xcode is opening in frame 6: Type:

sudo opensnoop -n Xcode

Then double-click Xcode and watch the firehose of output from opensnoop. The bad docset is either the first but more probably the last one accessed.

That's a good trick to know. Thanks.

I solved my problem by wholesale trashing all docsets in the home and user library's DocSets subfolders per Michael Babin's suggestion. Then I used the Xcode Downloads preference tab to reinstall those I wanted.

Which led to a question to which I don't know the answer: Does Apple have a web page where you can find all current and older docset feeds?
