[I originally sent this, erroneously, to darwin-development. It's failing in NSApplication.init(), so it belongs here. -- wcj]
What's an "ASN"? How does a system daemon ever get one? I'm running a daemon, started by SystemStarter at boot time, and running as me (an admin account), which periodically invokes OpenOffice's "soffice" binary to convert MS Office docs to PDF. Works most of the time, even though daemons supposedly don't have access to the window server, but sometimes OpenOffice crashes with this error message: FAILED TO GET ASN FROM CORESERVICES so aborting. Here's the stack of the crashing thread: $ cat /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/soffice.bin_2008-11-20-173308_suntzu.crash Process: soffice.bin [46197] Path: /Library/GoodStuff/1.0/OpenOffice.org.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice.bin Identifier: soffice.bin Version: ???
