We have an app that uses a "main" NSManagedObjectContext (MOC) for all UI-related work, and has background threads that add and update data via their own dedicated MOCs. When they call -save: on their MOC, the "main" MOC gets the NSManagedObjectContextDidSaveNotification and calls -mergeChangesFromContextDidSaveNotification:.
The problem is, this actually happens on the thread that called -save:, not on the main thread. We're seeing occasional crashes, and suspect that it is due to this problem. However, I didn't see anything in the docs that said we had to call -save: from the main thread, or take any special steps when handling that notification. Did I just overlook something, or should this work safely always? It seems like the latter is unlikely, since two threads could be accessing a MOC simultaneously.
