Interface Builder hits breakpoint?

Hi, I just decided to convert some of my old-style resources into nib
files.
To my dismay, I realised that Interface Builder unexpectedly quits
whenever
I try to open or create any nib file! It seems that it actually hits a
breakpoint
which causes the system to abort it... Does anyone know what to do in
this
situation? I am running MacOS 10.3.6 and the latest (to my knowledge)
version of the developer tools. The relevant extract from the crash
log is
included below. Thanks a lot,

Martin

Have you tried Kristian Walsh's program "Migrator"?

I actually did try it and when I attempted to open the resulting NIB file
in IB the aforementioned crash occured. It turned out that the crash is
100% reproducible on any NIB file, not only the ones generated by Migrator,
so there must be something wrong with my system. The funny thing is
that everything else works as normal, i.e. I don't have any weird crashes
in any of the other Cocoa programs...

Well, you're running the latest version of IB, as you say.  Do you have
any haxies, other applications that use APE, or anything else that
patches the system installed?

Unfortunately, APE is not the culprit this time. I uninstalled it and did
a Safe Boot of the system: IB still crashes when opening or creating any
document in exactly the same fashion....

Do you have any custom palettes installed in /Developer/Palettes or
/Developer/Extras/Palettes, or in any other directory that IB loads on
startup?

There were a couple of them, but removing them didn't change anything.
I also reinstalled the Developer Tools to no avail... Looks like I'll have to
reinstall the whole system if I want to use IB :-( Thanks,

Martin
