hello list

i have written a chat client as part of an app i am developing that
uses a subclassed NSTextView to draw bubbles around messages, in the
iChat style. this works well for me and a few hundred other users,
except for one who reports that any time a message is entered the
application crashes. the top of the crash report is below:

OS Version:      Mac OS X 10.5.7 (9J61)
Exception Type:  EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION (SIGILL)
Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000001, 0x0000000000000000

Application Specific Information:
objc[79810]: FREED(id): message autorelease sent to freed object=0x15fa3250

7   com.bdp.iSoul                  0x0003097d -[BubbleTextView
drawViewBackgroundInRect:] + 1322

i am not sure how to go about fixing this, can anyone suggest where
the autorelease message is sent? the tiled bubble images are held in
NSArrays and the bubble drawing code in BubbleTextView is shown below.
i cannot understand why the error would occur for this user
particularly, can anyone see something wrong with the code?

- (void)drawBubbleAroundTextInRect:(NSRect)rect user:(User *)user
outgoing:(BOOL)outgoing
{
  NSArray *balloon;
  NSAffineTransform *aft = [NSAffineTransform transform];

  if (outgoing) {
    balloon = blueBalloon;

    // if outgoing, flip the co-ordinates for the balloon
    [aft scaleXBy:-1 yBy:1];
    [aft translateXBy:-(2 * rect.origin.x + rect.size.width) yBy:0];
    [aft concat];
  } else {
    ...
  }

  // adjust the paragraph rectangle to contain the balloon
  NSRect balloonRect = NSMakeRect(rect.origin.x - kBalloonPadLeft,
        rect.origin.y - kBalloonPadTop,
        rect.size.width + kBalloonPadLeft + kBalloonPadRight,
        rect.size.height + kBalloonPadTop + kBalloonPadBottom);
  NSDrawNinePartImage(balloonRect,
    [balloon objectAtIndex:0],
    [balloon objectAtIndex:1],
    [balloon objectAtIndex:2],
    [balloon objectAtIndex:3],
    [balloon objectAtIndex:4],
    [balloon objectAtIndex:5],
    [balloon objectAtIndex:6],
    [balloon objectAtIndex:7],
    [balloon objectAtIndex:8],
    NSCompositeSourceOver, 1.0, YES);
}
