Re: error while opening AddressManager

[Fred Kiefer]

The corresponding real back trace is easy to get. Set a break point on 
[NSException raise] and run AddressManager, try to add a new person and 
you will get:


Breakpoint 1, -[NSException raise] (self=0xbe3db8, _cmd=0x7ffff70d69e0)

This could be either fixed in AddressView, by not setting the string of 
a NSTextView to nil. Or we need to protect all calls to the NSTextView 
in gui to ignore nil.

Not sure what Apple does here. Anybody out there with some time to test 
this?
