Hi all,
I've recently begun creating a relatively simple OS X application. The
backend is mostly java, so I use the (deprecated) bridge to access the
Cocoa APIs.

The app builds and runs fine on my PowerBook G4, but when I try to
build and run a copy on a MacBook Core2Duo, I get the error below:

Invalid memory access of location 00000000 eip=9b75388e

Looking at the debug log, it lists a "EXC_BAD_ACCESS" error. This
error seems to occur shortly after my application is instantiated (at
'return NSApplicationMain(argc, (const char **) argv);', but before
'applicationWillFinishLaunching()' is called. I've not modified any of
this code, except for creating the NIB file it uses in interface
builder. In a much earlier version of my app it had built and run fine
on a MacBook.

Hopefully it's something fairly basic I'm missing- if you have any
thoughts on how to remedy this error, please let me know.
Best,
-Scott
