I will sign in there as well. I noticed that the place of the 
segmentation fault *is* linked to the selector functions that he mentioned.

Specifically, see file NSAutoReleasePool.m on line 397 (or thereabout, 
depending upon the version). It would appear that those methods are 
returning nil for whatever object they are trying to deallocate.

So, sadly, it appears that we are somehow not able to find a releaseSel 
for those objects.

I am going to set the environment variable that he refers to and run the 
code that way. I will let you know what I find.
