Hi all,
Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I spent far too much time working
around this bug, but have finally got to the bottom of the original issue.
It turns out this is a known issue with some other apps as well, and (thanks to

Breaking the RTFD loading process down into subtasks is a good idea. It might
be worth trying to sidestep the issue using NSAttributedString. You can try
loading the data yourself as Mike suggested and then use initWithRTFD or
initWithRTFDFileWrapper. Once you have the text in an attributed

strange approach to take.
Number 1: Cocoa doesn’t support exceptions as an error-handling mechanism
except where explicitly stated and supported. You’re trying to use them, which
