NSURLConnection crashing under 10.5.7

Question

I have a little app that downloads stock prices and was working perfectly (for years) until my recent upgrade to 10.5.7. After the upgrade, the program would crash on this

Answer 1

At The Omni Group, we are seeing this new crash in 10.5.7 in all of our NSURL-using applications too, in asynchronous use (so I think the synchronous thing is a red herring). We've also had it happen in TextMate (presumably in the software update).

I've logged Radar 6932684 on this issue, and if you are seeing it too, I strongly suggest you all report it, with whatever details you can gather.
