Hi Laurent, The only framework I'm using up to this point is WebKit, and it appears that is the problem. Here's the result I get when I set the breakpoint:
(gdb) bt #0 0x00007fff881d6c64 in auto_zone_thread_registration_error () #1 0x00007fff881d69aa in Auto::Zone::registered_thread () #2 0x00007fff881cfdf0 in auto_zone_allocate_object () #3 0x00007fff837d1dc5 in _CFRuntimeCreateInstance () #4 0x00007fff837d410f in __CFStringCreateImmutableFunnel3 () #5 0x00007fff837d8ef6 in CFStringCreateWithCharacters () #6 0x00007fff85e54663 in WebCore::fileSystemRepresentation () #7 0x00007fff85e544da in WebCore::makeAllDirectories () #8 0x00007fff85e542f0 in WebCore::IconDatabase::iconDatabaseSyncThread () #9 0x00007fff841bb456 in _pthread_start () #10 0x00007fff841bb309 in thread_start () Is there any way around this? Perhaps I could use a later version of WebKit? I'm not sure what version I'm using now (and not sure how to find out either). -- Michael Jackson http://mjijackson.com @mjijackson On Tue, Jul 27, 2010 at 1:41 PM, Laurent Sansonetti <lsansone...@apple.com> wrote: > Hi Michael, > > It's likely not a problem in your code neither in MacRubyi (I hope!), but in > a framework you use.
